Recent studies suggest that NGAL (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin) is a novel iron transporter with functions distinct from that of transferrin and mediates a new iron-delivery pathway. To get a better understanding of NGAL function in oesophageal carcinoma, we analysed the expression of NGAL receptors in oesophageal carcinoma cells and identified a novel spliced variant designated NgalR-3. When expressed in a heterologous system, the protein produced from this novel spliced variant exhibits the biochemical characteristics of interaction and co-localization with NGAL protein in vivo. This new finding suggests that NgalR-3 may act as a potential NGAL receptor and play a role in NGAL-mediated iron transport in oesophageal carcinoma.
