Lipocalin-1 is the acceptor protein for phospholipid transfer protein in tears. [PDF]
Biochem Biophys Res Commun, 2021 Phospholipid transfer protein, ∼80 kDa, transfers phospholipids from micelles to lipid binding proteins. The acceptor protein in plasma is apolipoprotein-A1, 28 kDa. Previously, phospholipid transfer protein was found in tears but an acceptor protein was not identified.

Lipocalin-1 Expression as a Prognosticator Marker of Survival in Breast Cancer Patients. [PDF]
Breast Care (Basel), 2020 <b><i>Purpose:</i></b> LCN1 (lipocalin-1), a gene that encodes tear lipocalin (or von Ebner’s gland protein), is mainly expressed in secretory glands and tissues, such as the lachrymal and lingual gland, and nasal, mammary, and tracheobronchial mucosae.

Tear Lipocalin and Lipocalin-Interacting Membrane Receptor
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Tear lipocalin is a primate protein that was recognized as a lipocalin from the homology of the primary sequence. The protein is most concentrated in tears and produced by lacrimal glands.

Structure, Functions, and Physiological Roles of the Lipocalin α1-Microglobulin (A1M) [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 α1-microglobulin (A1M) is found in all vertebrates including humans. A1M was, together with retinol-binding protein and β-lactoglobulin, one of the three original lipocalins when the family first was proposed in 1985.

The Transcription Factor FRA-1/AP-1 Controls Lipocalin-2 Expression and Inflammation in Sepsis Model [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Sepsis is a life-threatening condition characterized by excessive inflammation in its early phase. This is followed by an aberrant resolution phase associated to a prolonged period of immune suppression that can ultimately lead to multiple organ ...
