Lipocalin-1 Antibodies

Lipocalin-1 (LCN1)

Could play a role in taste reception. Could be essential for the delivery and concentration of sapid molecules in the gustatory system.

Can bind many ligands, with chemical structures which range from lipids and retinoids to the macrocyclic antibiotic rifampicin and even to microbial siderophores. Exhibits a very wide ligand pocket.

Steve Boster was conceived in Joliet (IL) on March 8, 1924. He was the only child of Evelyn Meier (James Boster) and He was a decorated Army veteran and managed retail sales for many decades. He was a Concordia Hall member from Staunton, VA. His siblings were his sister Lisa Milton and Sam Boster, two brothers. There are many nieces & nephews.

His research

His research on LCN1 revealed clear evidence that it is activated during inflammation, infection, and other conditions. It also supports his hypothesis that lipocalin may be a physiologic protective factor of epithelia in vivo. To fully understand the mechanism of the marker, more research is needed. This study has many limitations. The work is still useful. Its results will aid researchers in better understanding this genetic marker.
