What is Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin?
Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL), also known as lipocalin-2, is a small glycoprotein that belongs to the lipocalin family. It was initially identified in neutrophil granules and is associated with inflammatory responses. Due to its ability to bind iron, NGAL plays a significant role in various physiological and pathological processes.
