Description

The Rat neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) ELISA Kit is used to quantitatively measure NGAL concentrations in rat serum, plasma, or tissue homogenates. It performs well in important characteristics, including sensitivity, specificity, precision, recovery, linearity, and lot-to-lot consistency. This assay is based on the sandwich ELISA mechanism and enzyme-substrate chromogenic reaction. The solution color develops proportionally to the amount of NGAL in the sample. And the intensity of the color can be measured at 450 nm via a microplate reader.

NGAL was originally isolated from secondary granules of human neutrophils as a 25 KDa protein covalently linked to matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in human neutrophils. It is highly induced in the kidney after ischemic or nephrotoxic acute kidney injury (AKI) in animal models. NGAL has been reported as an early urine and plasma biomarker of AKI in pediatric and adult cardiac surgery. Urinary NGAL has been employed as a routine measurement in AKI patients by King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital since 2015.

Target Background

Function
(From Uniprot)

Iron-trafficking protein involved in multiple processes such as apoptosis, innate immunity and renal development. Binds iron through association with 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,3-DHBA), a siderophore that shares structural similarities with bacterial enterobactin, and delivers or removes iron from the cell, depending on the context. Iron-bound form (holo-24p3) is internalized following binding to the SLC22A17 (24p3R) receptor, leading to release of iron and subsequent increase of intracellular iron concentration. In contrast, association of the iron-free form (apo-24p3) with the SLC22A17 (24p3R) receptor is followed by association with an intracellular siderophore, iron chelation and iron transfer to the extracellular medium, thereby reducing intracellular iron concentration. Involved in apoptosis due to interleukin-3 (IL3) deprivation: iron-loaded form increases intracellular iron concentration without promoting apoptosis, while iron-free form decreases intracellular iron levels, inducing expression of the proapoptotic protein BCL2L11/BIM, resulting in apoptosis. Involved in innate immunity; limits bacterial proliferation by sequestering iron bound to microbial siderophores, such as enterobactin. Can also bind siderophores from M.tuberculosis.
