{"symbol":"LCN12","synonyms":[],"name":"lipocalin 12","description":"Members of the lipocalin family, such as LCN12, 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]","ncbiEntrezGeneId":286256,"ncbiEntrezGeneUrl":"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/286256","proteins":[{"symbol":"LCN12_HUMAN","href":"/api/1.0/protein/LCN12_HUMAN"}],"hgncRootFamilies":[{"name":"Calycin structural superfamily","href":"/api/1.0/gene_family/Calycin+structural+superfamily"}]}
