Summary: Enables enterobactin binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and protease binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cytokine stimulus; memory; and regulation of hippocampal neuron apoptotic process. Located in extracellular space. Used to study intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and retinal degeneration. Biomarker of several diseases, including acute kidney failure; congenital diaphragmatic hernia; obesity; transient cerebral ischemia; and traumatic brain injury. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in urinary tract infection. Orthologous to human LCN2 (lipocalin 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
