Lipocalin-1 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.Based on the known 3-dimensional structure of 5 members of the lipocalin family, i.e., retinol binding protein , beta-lactoglobulin, bilin binding protein, mouse major urinary protein, and rat urinary alpha-2-globulin, the general architecture appears to be highly appropriate for binding a variety of hydrophobic ligands. On the basis of highly conserved amino acid sequences and of a size around 18 to 20 kD, about 20 proteins have been designated as lipocalins.

Human Lipocalin-1 (LCN1) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate LCN1 in samples. An antibody specific for LCN1 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyLCN1 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for LCN1 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of LCN1 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
