Human Lipocalin-1 PharmaGenie ELISA Kit (SBRS0836)

LCN1, a small secreted glycoprotein of the lipocalin superfamily, is measured quantitatively by the Assay Genie Human Lipocalin-1 PharmaGenie ELISA Kit, an absorbance-based immunoassay supplied as a complete 96-assay microplate kit. Lipocalin-1 (also known as tear lipocalin, von Ebner's gland protein, or VEGP) is secreted by lacrimal glands, von Ebner's lingual glands, and several mucosal epithelia, where it binds and scavenges hydrophobic ligands such as fatty acids, cholesterol, retinol, and lipid peroxidation byproducts. The kit accepts multiple human sample types, including cell culture supernatants, plasma, and serum, supporting translational workflows that bridge in vitro experiments with patient-derived material.

LCN1 measurement is widely applied in tear film and ocular surface research, including studies of dry eye disease, contact lens wear, and primary Sjögren's syndrome, where tear concentrations have been investigated as a non-invasive indicator of lacrimal gland function. Beyond ophthalmology, the assay supports investigation of airway and nasal mucosal inflammation, salivary gland dysfunction, and epithelial barrier studies. Researchers evaluating innate immune scavenging activity or lipid mediator transport also use LCN1 as a quantitative readout. Each kit supplies pre-coated plate wells and reagents sufficient for 96 individual reactions, with calibrators, buffers, and detection components optimized for the Assay Genie PharmaGenie workflow. Intended for research use only.
