DescriptionLipocalin-2, also known as neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), 2
is a secreted glycoprotein that can be used as a biomarker of inflammation.
Lipocalin-2 is increased in metabolic diseases associated with an inflammatory
phenotype, including type 2 diabetes, obesity and liver steatosis. Lipocalin-2
is highly expressed in white adipose tissue and tracks obesity. Strong
correlations between blood concentrations of lipocalin-2 and insulin resistance
and type 2 diabetes have been noted. Lipocalin-2 can be measured in urine,
blood, and feces. Lipocalin-2 will be measured by ELISA.
