Mouse NGAL ELISA Kit
The Mouse NGAL ELISA Kit is designed to quantitatively measure neutrophil gelatinase–associated lipocalin (NGAL), also known as lipocalin-2, in mouse serum, plasma, urine, or tissue extracts. NGAL is a small iron-binding protein released by neutrophils and various epithelial tissues in response to injury or inflammation. It is one of the earliest and most sensitive biomarkers of acute kidney injury (AKI), rising sharply in blood and urine within hours of renal tubular damage—well before traditional markers such as serum creatinine. Because NGAL expression also increases during infection, inflammation, and certain cancers, its measurement provides insight into both renal and broader inflammatory processes.
In research settings, the Mouse NGAL ELISA Kit is widely used to study kidney injury mechanisms, nephrotoxicity, and renal protection strategies in preclinical models. It is commonly applied in drug toxicity studies, ischemia–reperfusion injury experiments, sepsis models, and investigations of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. Researchers also use NGAL as a marker of systemic inflammation or epithelial stress in studies of metabolic disease, cardiovascular injury, and immune responses. Its rapid and robust elevation makes NGAL a valuable biomarker for early detection and longitudinal monitoring in experimental designs.
Although the mouse kit itself is not intended for human diagnostic use, NGAL is a clinically relevant biomarker increasingly used in human nephrology to detect early AKI and evaluate renal stress during critical illness. Findings from mouse NGAL studies support the development of NGAL-based diagnostics, guide therapeutic strategies for renal protection, and help validate NGAL as a translational indicator of kidney and inflammatory health. Thus, the Mouse NGAL ELISA Kit is an essential tool that bridges preclinical renal research with emerging clinical applications.
This Mouse NGAL ELISA Kit is manufactured in USA by Eagle Biosciences.
