Scope note: Lipocalina de aproximadamente 200 aminoácidos que funciona como transportador de hierro y es expresada por células de la MÉDULA ÓSEA y por muchas otras células con función secretora. Está implicada en la APOPTOSIS y puede servir para limitar el crecimiento bacteriano patógeno como parte de la RESPUESTA INMUNITARIA INNATA.

Scope note: A lipocalin of approximately 200 amino acids that functions as an iron transporter and is expressed by cells of BONE MARROW and many other cells with secretory functions. It is involved in APOPTOSIS and may function to limit pathogenic bacterial growth as part of the INNATE IMMUNE RESPONSE.
