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 GDF-15 Protein (HEK293 N-hFc)
Growth-differentiation factor 15 (GDF15), also known as MIC-1, is a secreted member of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-β superfamily. GDF-15 has a role in regulating inflammatory and apoptotic pathways in injured tissues and during disease processes. GDF-15 overexpression arising from an expanded erythroid compartment contributes to iron overload in thalassemia syndromes by inhibiting hepcidin expression. |
| Recombinant Human FGFR1 Protein (HEK293, C-His)
FGFR1, also known as CD331, is a full-length representative protein consists of an extracellular region, composed of three immunoglobulin-like domains, a single hydrophobic membrane-spanning segment and a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain. |
| Recombinant Human FGFR2 Protein (HEK293, C-His)
FGFR2, also known as CD332, acts as cell-surface receptor for fibroblast growth factors and plays an essential role in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, migration and apoptosis, and in the regulation of embryonic development. FGFR2 plays an essential role in the regulation of osteoblast differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis, and is required for normal skeleton development. It also promotes cell proliferation in keratinocytes and imature osteoblasts, but promotes apoptosis in differentiated osteoblasts. |
| Recombinant Mouse BMP-4 Protein (E. coli, C-His)
Bone Morphogenetic Protein-4 (BMP-4) is a critical signaling molecule required for the early differentiation of the embryo and establishing of a dorsal-ventral axis. BMP-4 is secreted from the dorsal portion of the notochord, and it acts in concert with sonic hedgehog to establish a dorsal-ventral axis for the differentiation of later structures. |
| Recombinant Human Coagulation Factor X (HEK293, C-Fc)
Coagulation factor X, belongs to the peptidase S1 family. Coagulation factor X is initially synthesized in the liver. Coagulation factor X is a vitamin K-dependent glycoprotein that converts prothrombin to thrombin in the presence of factor Va, calcium and phospholipid during blood clotting. |
