LCN1 Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

LCN1 could play a role in taste reception. LCN1 could be necessary for the concentration and delivery of sapid molecules in the gustatory system. LCN1 can bind various ligands, with chemical structures ranging from lipids and retinoids to the macrocyclic antibiotic rifampicin and even to microbial siderophores. LCN1 exhibits an extremely wide ligand pocket.The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the lipocalin family. Lipocalins are a group of extracellular proteins that are able to bind lipophiles by enclosure within their structures to minimize solvent contact. This protein may bind hydrophobic ligands and inhibit cysteine proteinases. It may also play a role in taste reception.
