Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody to Lipocalin~2

Lipocalin~2 is involved in innate immunity, iron homeostasis, and apoptosis. Lipocalin~2 limits bacterial growth by binding to bacterial siderophores and sequestering iron. Binds iron through association with 2,5~dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5~DHBA), a siderophore that shares structural similarities with bacterial enterobactin, and delivers or removes iron from the cell, depending on the context.
