Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (LCN2) is a secreted protein that belongs to the kallikrein superfamily. This protein is released from injured renal tubular cells after various destructive stimuli and has been described by nephrologists as one of the most promising biomarkers of afferent acute kidney injury (AKI). Recent evidence also suggests its role as a biomarker in various other renal and non-renal diseases. In addition, recent studies seem to indicate that this factor may also be involved in the development and progression of chronic kidney disease.NGAL is the first known mammalian protein that specifically binds organic molecules called glycosides, which are high-affinity iron chelators.NGAL was first known as an antimicrobial factor of natural immunity and an acute phase protein, and is currently one of the most interesting and enigmatic proteins. As an intracellular iron carrier and protector of MMP9 from proteolysis, NGAL has a significant pro-tumor effect and has been observed in different human tumors (e.g. breast, stomach, esophagus, brain). In thyroid cancer, NGAL is strongly induced by NF-kB, an important factor involved in the link between tumor growth and chronic inflammation and tumor development. Thus, Lipocalin-2 (LCN2/NGAL) has been implicated in various processes, including cell differentiation, proliferation, survival, and morphogenesis.

| Recombinant Human FGF-8b Protein (E. coli)
Recombinant Human FGF-8b Protein is a heparin-binding growth factor, which plays a core role in prenatal development, postnatal growth and regeneration of various tissues by promoting cell proliferation and other effect. |
| Recombinant Rat GDNF Protein (Baculovirus-Insect, N-His)
GDNF is an important member of the GDNF family of ligands. GDNF plays a key role in the promotion of the survival of dopaminergic neurons. GDNF is a highly conserved neurotrophic factor. The recombinant form of this protein also promotes the survival and differentiation of dopaminergic neurons in culture, and was able to prevent apoptosis of motor neurons induced by axotomy. GDNF also regulates kidney development and spermatogenesis, and it affects alcohol consumption. |
| Recombinant Rat PDGF-BB (E. coli)
Platelet-Derived Growth Factor-BB (PDGF-BB) is one of five dimers (PDGF-AA, AB, BB, CC, and DD) formed by 4 different PDGF subunits. PDGF-BB functions in a paracrine manner and promotes organogenesis, human skeletal development, and wound healing. PDGF-BB also promotes angiogenesis, particularly in the presence of Fibroblast Growth Factor basic. |
| Recombinant Human ApoE3 Protein (HEK293, C-6His)
ApoE is a constituent of a subclass of high density of lipoproteins (HDL) involved in cholesterol transport. ApoE mediates high affinity binding of chylomicrons and vLDL particles to the LDL receptor, allowing for specific uptake of these particles by the liver, preventing the accumulation of cholesterol rich particles in the plasma. |
| Recombinant Mouse Granzyme B (HEK293, C-6His)
Granzyme B (GZMB) is necessary for target cell lysis in cell-mediated immune responses. It cleaves after Asp and seems to be linked to an activation cascade of caspases (aspartate-specific cysteine proteases) responsible for apoptosis execution. The protein cleaves caspase-3, -7, -9 and 10 to give rise to active enzymes mediating apoptosis. |
