    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 neuron apoptotic process. Located in cytosol and extracellular space. Used to study intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and retinal degeneration. Biomarker of several diseases, including acute kidney failure; congenital diaphragmatic hernia; obesity; pulmonary hypertension; and transient cerebral ischemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in urinary tract infection. Orthologous to human LCN2 (lipocalin 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

    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.
