Gene information for LCN1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3933
Official gene symbolLCN1
Full namelipocalin 1 (tear prealbumin)
Aliases,MGC71975,PMFA,TLC,TP,VEGP,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene 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. [provided by RefSeq]
