Abstract
In this review, isolation and characterization of several kidney-derived molecules are described, namely carbonic anhydrase XIV, cysteine-rich protein 61, and kidney-liver-specific immunoglobulin-like protein. Features of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (LCN2 or human neutrophil lipocalin) as a kidney differentiation inducer and renal injury biomarker and also as an iron-carrier protein are also summarized. Furthermore, the concepts of forest fire theory and the biology of siderophore-binding proteins are discussed.Entities:
