Gene nameLCN1
Protein nameLipocalin-1 (Tear lipocalin) (Tlc) (Tear prealbumin) (TP) (von Ebner gland protein) (VEG protein)
SynonymsVEGP
DescriptionFUNCTION: Could play a role in taste reception. Could be necessary for the concentration and delivery of sapid molecules in the gustatory system. Can bind various ligands, with chemical structures ranging from lipids and retinoids to the macrocyclic antibiotic rifampicin and even to microbial siderophores. Exhibits an extremely wide ligand pocket.
