Solute carrier family 22 member 17 (SLC22A17), which is a member of solute carrier family, is a protein encoded by the SLC22A17 gene in humans. It is also known as Lipocalin-2 receptor (LCN2) or Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin receptor (NgalR). SLC22A17 is involved in many physiological and pathological processes such as cell differentiation, apoptosis, and inflammation.

SLC22A17 play a key role in iron homeostasis and transport. It is capable of binding iron-bound SLC22A17 (holo-24p3), then internalizing holo-24p3 and releasing iron, thereby increasing intracellular iron concentration and thereby inhibiting apoptosis. It is also possible to combine iron-free SLC22A17 (apo-24p3), then internalize apo-24p3 and associate it with intracellular iron cells, resulting in iron chelation and transfer of iron to the extracellular medium, thereby reducing cells. The concentration of iron inside causes apoptosis by similarity.

This article reveals that human lcn2-r-ntd can participate in the fine-tuning of the interaction between NGAL and its cellular receptors, or in a biochemical mechanism, enabling receptors to distinguish between apo and holo-NGAL.
The research suggests that BOCT1 and BOCT2-expressing cells do not have transport activity for a number of other SLC22 substrates.
The authors detected the localization of receptors in the vegetative ectoderm, suggesting that the endometrial SLC22A17 is involved in carrying small substances from the mother to the fetus.
These results imply that SLC22A17 regulates the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the PDAC tumor microenvironment PSC, while down-regulation of the LCN2-specific receptor SLC22A17 prevents these effects.
Clear orthological relationships of zebrafish slc22 and other vertebrate slc22 genes were established in this research. Because of their physiological and toxicological importance, slc22 members are highly conserved.
