Scientific Data

Detection of Human Lipocalin‑2/NGAL by Western Blot. Western blot shows lysates of K562 human chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Rat Anti-Human Lipocalin-2/NGAL Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB1757) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Rat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF005). A specific band was detected for Lipocalin-2/NGAL at approximately 22 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Lipocalin‑2/NGAL in Human Pancreas. Lipocalin-2/NGAL was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human pancreas using Rat Anti-Human Lipocalin-2/NGAL Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB1757) at 15 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Rabbit HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS005) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to plasma membrane of ductal cells. View our protocol for Chromogenic IHC Staining of Paraffin-embedded Tissue Sections.

Detection of Human Lipocalin‑2/NGAL by Western Blot. Western blot shows lysates of Capan-1 human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell line, HT-29 human colon adenocarcinoma cell line, and human bone marrow tissue. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.2 µg/mL of Rat Anti-Human Lipocalin-2/NGAL Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB1757) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Rat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF005). A specific band was detected for Lipocalin-2/NGAL at approximately 22 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Background: Lipocalin-2/NGAL
Members of Lipocalin family share a highly conserved fold with an eight-stranded antiparallel beta barrel, and act as a transporters, carrying small molecules to specific cells (1). Lipocalin-2, also known as Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL), was originally identified as a component of neutrophil granules (2). It is a 25 kDa protein existing in monomeric and homo- and heterodimeric forms, the latter as a dimer with human neutrophil gelatinases (MMP-9) (2). Its expression has been observed in most tissues normally exposed to microorganism, and its synthesis is induced in epithelial cells during inflammation (3). Lipocalin-2 has been implicated in a variety of processes including cell differentiation, tumorigenesis, and apoptosis (3-5). Studies indicate that Lipocalin-2 binds a bacterial catecholate sidropore bound to ferric ion such as enterobactin with a subnanomolar dissociation constant (Kd = 0.41 nM) (6). The bound ferric enterobactin complex breaks down slowly in a month into dihydroxybenzoyl serine and dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHBA). It also binds to a ferric DHBA complex with much less Kd values (7.9 nM) (6). Secretion of Lipocalin‑2 in immune cells increases by stimulation of Toll-like receptor as an acute phase response to infection. As a result, it acts as a potent bacteriostatic reagent by sequestering iron (7). Moreover, Lipocalin-2 can alter the invasive and metastatic behavior of Ras-transformed breast cancer cells in vitro and in vivo by reversing epithelial to mesenchymal transition inducing activity of Ras, through restoration of E-cadherin expression, via effects on the Ras-MAPK signaling pathway (8).
