Recombinant Human C-X-C motif chemokine 2 (CXCL2)

Uniprot Id

P19875

Target Species

Human

Target Name

CXCL2

Target Full Name

C-X-C motif chemokine 2

Target Function

Produced by activated monocytes and neutrophils and expressed at sites of inflammation. Hematoregulatory chemokine, which, in vitro, suppresses hematopoietic progenitor cell proliferation. GRO-beta(5-73) shows a highly enhanced hematopoietic activity.

Target Subcellular Location

Secreted.

Target Protein Families

Intercrine alpha (chemokine CxC) family

Target Background

This antimicrobial gene is part of a chemokine superfamily that encodes secreted proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The superfamily is divided into four subfamilies based on the arrangement of the N-terminal cysteine residues of the mature peptide. This chemokine, a member of the CXC subfamily, is expressed at sites of inflammation and may suppress hematopoietic progenitor cell proliferation.
