Lipocalin-1 Antibody (B-9): sc-398984

Lipocalin-1 Antibody (B-9) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2a antibody that detects Lipocalin-1 in human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Lipocalin-1, also known as tear lipocalin or von Ebner′s gland protein, is a secretory protein predominantly found in various epithelial fluids, including tears and respiratory secretions, where Lipocalin-1 plays a crucial role in maintaining ocular health. Lipocalin-1 is essential for stabilizing the lipid film of human tear fluid, effectively removing harmful lipids from the corneal surface and transporting them to the aqueous phase of tears, thereby protecting the eye from damage and ensuring proper lubrication. Additionally, Lipocalin-1 is secreted by a variety of glands, including the lacrimal, nasal mucosal, and salivary glands, as well as the prostate and adrenal glands, highlighting Lipocalin-1′s widespread importance in physiological processes. Lipocalin-1′s ability to bind and transport hydrophobic molecules, such as bitter substances, further underscores Lipocalin-1′s multifaceted role in both sensory perception and protective functions within the body.

The preferred Lipocalin-1 antibody is Lipocalin-1 Antibody (H-8): sc-374620.
