Structure, function, and regulation of the SLC4 NBCe1 transporter and its role in causing proximal renal tubular acidosis.

abstract：PURPOSE OF REVIEW:Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a member of the lipocalin superfamily of carrier proteins. NGAL is the first known mammalian protein which specifically binds organic molecules called siderophores, which are high-affinity iron chelators. Here, we review the expression, siderophore-...
