About Lcn2

Summary

Enables enterobactin binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and protease binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cytokine stimulus; memory; and regulation of neuron apoptotic process. Located in cytosol and extracellular space. Used to study intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and retinal degeneration. Biomarker of several diseases, including acute kidney failure; congenital diaphragmatic hernia; obesity; pulmonary hypertension; and transient cerebral ischemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in urinary tract Infection. Orthologous to human LCN2 (lipocalin 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
