Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Diagnostic and prognostic ability of urinary NGAL in patients with cirrhosis and AKI. Abstract Background and Aims Acute kidney injury (AKI) commonly occurs in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Urinary neutrophil gelatinase–associated lipocalin (uNGAL) could help discriminate between different etiologies of AKI.

Ex vivo and in vivo regulation of lipocalin-2, a novel adipokine, by insulin [PDF]
, 2009 OBJECTIVE - Lipocalin-2, a novel adipokine, has been shown to be elevated in obese, insulin-resistant, and diabetic Subjects. We therefore sought to study the ex vivo and in vivo effects of insulin on lipocalin-2 levels in humans. RESEARCH DESIGN AND

Immune responses to inhalant mammalian allergens
Frontiers in Immunology, 2014 In Europe and the USA at least one person in four is exposed every day to inhalant allergens of mammalian origin, a considerable number is regularly exposed for professional reasons and almost everyone is occasionally exposed to inhalant allergens from ...

Dimerization of lipocalin allergens [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2015 AbstractLipocalins are one of the most important groups of inhalant animal allergens. The analysis of structural features of these proteins is important to get insights into their allergenicity. We have determined two different dimeric crystal structures for bovine dander lipocalin Bos d 2, which was earlier described as a monomeric allergen.

β-Lactoglobulin and Glycodelin: Two Sides of the Same Coin?
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 The two lipocalins, β-lactoglobulin (βLg) and glycodelin (Gd), are possibly the most closely related members of the large and widely distributed lipocalin family, yet their functions appear to be substantially different.

Endonuclease activity in lipocalins [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 2000 Several lipocalins contain conserved amino acid sequences similar to the phosphodiester bond cleavage domain of sugar non-specific magnesium-dependent nucleases of the Serratia marcescens type. His-89 and Glu-127 of the S. marcescens endonuclease are believed to have a role in the active catalytic site by the attack of a water molecule at the ...

The diversity of lipocalin receptors
Biochimie, 2022 Lipocalins are important carriers of preferentially hydrophobic molecules, but they can also bind other ligands, like highly polar siderophores or intact proteins. Consequently, they are involved in a variety of physiological processes in many species.

Lipocalin-2 and neutrophil activation in pancreatic cancer cachexia [PDF]
, 2023 BackgroundCancer cachexia is a multifactorial syndrome characterized by body weight loss and systemic inflammation. The characterization of the inflammatory response in patients with cachexia is still limited.
