Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin Antibody（NGAL-Ab）

Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a 25KD glucoprotein and a new member of lipocalin family with a typical β-barrel structure of the family. Based on the recent research, the function of NGAL protein maybe is to protect and regulate the activity of matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9) and to involve in inflammation and innate immunity reaction. NGAL protein also is a novel iron transporter that mediates a new iron delivery pathway. Acute kidney injury(AKI) is a syndrome characterized by loss of function in a short time ( hours to days )．The scarcity of early biomarker for AKI has hindered our ability to launch the therapy for this disease．Neutrophil gelatinase-assocliated lipocalin( NGAL ) is a high efficient clinical biomarker for AKI. At present , Cystatin C is widely used for AKI clinical diagnosis. However, compared to Cystatin C , NGAL diagnosis value for AKI is much higher .

NGAL antibody with much higher titer is provided by our company and could be directly used for research or production in NGAL assay kit.
