关于 LCN9

功能概要

脂质运载蛋白家族的成员，如 LCN9，具有一个共同的结构，由一个 8 股反平行的 β 桶组成，形成一个杯形的配体结合口袋或花萼。脂质运载蛋白通常结合小的疏水性配体并将它们运输到特定细胞 (Suzuki et al., 2004 [PubMed 15363845]) 。[OMIM 提供，2009 年 8 月]

Members of the Lipocalin Family, such as LCN9, have a common structure consisting of an 8-stranded antiparallel beta-barrel that forms a cup-shaped ligand-binding pocket or calyx. Lipocalins generally bind small hydrophobic ligands and transport them to specific cells (Suzuki et al., 2004 [PubMed 15363845]).[supplied by OMIM, Aug 2009]
