GCP-2 (granulocyte chemotactic protein-2) also known as CXCL6, is a CXC chemokine initially isolated as a neutrophil chemoattractant from the MG-63 osteosarcoma cell line. Among human CXC chemokines, GCP-2 is most closely related to ENA-78 (78% amino acid (aa) sequence identity in the mature peptide region and 86% identity in the signal sequence). The structure […]

CXCL5 (epithelial neutrophil-activating peptide-78) is a member of a proangiogenic subgroup of the CXC-type chemokine family of small, secreted proteins. Human CXCL5 shares 57% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat CXCL5. Full length CXCL5 (78 aa) is trimmed at the N-terminus by cathepsin G and chymotrypsin to ENA-74 (74 aa) and ENA-70 […]

CXCL5, also known as epithelial cell-derived neutrophil-activating peptide (ENA-78), is an 8 kDa proinflammatory member of the CXC chemokine family. Its Glu-Leu-Arg (ELR) motif confers angiogenic properties and distinguishes it from ELR-CXC chemokines which are angiostatic. CXCL5 is produced following stimulation of cells with the inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1 or tumor necrosis factor-alpha. It also can […]

CXCL4, also called PF4, is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family and it is also known as chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand. Mature mouse CXCL4 shares 76%, 88%, 64%, 64% and 63% amino acid sequence identity with human, rat, ovine, porcine and bovine CXCL4, respectively. Recombinant mouse CXCL4 contains 76 amino acids which […]

CXCL3, also known as DCIP1 in mouse, CINC2 in rat, and GROγ in humans, is belonging to the CXC chemokine family. The amino acid sequence of mouse CXCL3 is 57 % identical to human CXCL3. In rat, CINC-2 has two isoforms, known as CXCL3α/CINC-2α and CXCL3β/CINC-2β. CXCL3 plays a role in inflammation and exert its […]

CXCL4, also called PF4 (platelet factor 4), is an 8 kDa member of the CXC chemokine family, sharing features with CXCL8/IL-8 and CXCL7/NAP-2. Mature human CXCL4 shares 65-76% amino acid sequence identity with mouse, rat, bovine, ovine and porcine CXCL4. The active protein is a tetramer of CXCL4 subunits that forms a ring of heparin-binding […]

CXCL3, also known as DCIP1 in mouse, CINC2 in rat, and GROγ in humans, is belonging to the CXC chemokine family. The amino acid sequence of mouse CXCL3 is 57 % identical to human CXCL3. CXCL3 plays a role in inflammation and exert its effects on endothelial cells in an autocrine fashion. Similar to other […]
