other gene names :
LCN2; LCN2; 24p3; MSFI; NGAL; HNL; NGAL; NGAL
uniprot entry name :
NGAL_HUMAN
specificity :
This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of NGAL. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between NGAL and analogues was observed. NOTE: Limited by current skills and knowledge, it is impossible for us to complete the cross-reactivity detection between NGAL and all the analogues, therefore, cross reaction may still exist in some cases.
storage stability :
Store all reagents at 2-8 degree C.

products description :
. Principle of the assay: NGAL ELISA kit applies the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique. The microtiter plate has been pre-coated with a monoclonal antibody specific for NGAL. Standards or samples are then added to the microtiter plate wells and NGAL if present, will bind to the antibody pre-coated wells. In order to quantitatively determine the amount of NGAL present in the sample, a standardized preparation of horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated polyclonal antibody, specific for NGAL are added to each well to "sandwich" the NGAL immobilized on the plate. The microtiter plate undergoes incubation, and then the wells are thoroughly washed to remove all unbound components. Next, substrate solutions are added to each well. The enzyme (HRP) and substrate are allowed to react over a short incubation period. Only those wells that contain NGAL and enzyme-conjugated antibody will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The NGAL concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.

uniprot summary :
LCN2: Iron-trafficking protein involved in multiple processes such as apoptosis, innate immunity and renal development. Binds iron through association with 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5- DHBA), a siderophore that shares structural similarities with bacterial enterobactin, and delivers or removes iron from the cell, depending on the context. Iron-bound form (holo-24p3) is internalized following binding to the SLC22A17 (24p3R) receptor, leading to release of iron and subsequent increase of intracellular iron concentration. In contrast, association of the iron-free form (apo-24p3) with the SLC22A17 (24p3R) receptor is followed by association with an intracellular siderophore, iron chelation and iron transfer to the extracellular medium, thereby reducing intracellular iron concentration. Involved in apoptosis due to interleukin-3 (IL3) deprivation: iron-loaded form increases intracellular iron concentration without promoting apoptosis, while iron-free form decreases intracellular iron levels, inducing expression of the proapoptotic protein BCL2L11/BIM, resulting in apoptosis. Involved in innate immunity, possibly by sequestrating iron, leading to limit bacterial growth. Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Lipocalin family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Secreted; Secreted, signal peptide. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 9q34. Cellular Component: extracellular space; extracellular region; cytosol. Molecular Function: protein homodimerization activity; protease binding; transporter activity; iron ion binding. Biological Process: response to drug; cellular response to nutrient levels; cellular iron ion homeostasis; response to virus; siderophore transport; positive regulation of cell projection organization and biogenesis; innate immune response; ion transport; response to herbicide; transmembrane transport
