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.

Comprehensive Prediction of Lipocalin Proteins Using Artificial Intelligence Strategy
Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2022 Background: Lipocalin belongs to the calcyin family, and its sequence length is generally between 165 and 200 residues. They are mainly stable and multifunctional extracellular proteins.

Inhalant Mammal-Derived Lipocalin Allergens and the Innate Immunity
Frontiers in Allergy, 2022 A major part of important mammalian respiratory allergens belongs to the lipocalin family of proteins. By this time, 19 respiratory mammalian lipocalin allergens have been registered in the WHO/IUIS Allergen Nomenclature Database. Originally, lipocalins,

Vulpeculin: a novel and abundant lipocalin in the urine of the common brushtail possum, Trichosurus vulpecula [PDF]
Open Biology, 2020 Lipocalins are a family of secreted proteins. They are capable of binding small lipophilic compounds and have been extensively studied for their role in chemosignalling in rodent urine.

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.

NMR structure of lipoprotein YxeF from Bacillus subtilis reveals a calycin fold and distant homology with the lipocalin Blc from Escherichia coli. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The soluble monomeric domain of lipoprotein YxeF from the Gram positive bacterium B. subtilis was selected by the Northeast Structural Genomics Consortium (NESG) as a target of a biomedical theme project focusing on the structure determination of the ...

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.

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 ...
