21. The basic residues Lys-717 and Lys-719 in the C-terminal region of ANK7 contribute to IkappaBzeta binding to the Lcn2 promoter, probably via interaction with the cytosine-rich element required for Lcn2 activation; glutamate substitution for both lysines results in a loss of transcriptionally active complex formation without affecting direct contact of IkappaBzeta with p50. PMID: 27489104
22. The expression of Lcn2 and mPGES-1 is strongly stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), indicating that Lcn2 mediates LPS-induced inflammation. These findings shed light on the role of Lcn2 during decidualization. PMID: 27416888
