Anti-CXCL2 Antibody Picoband® (FITC Conjugate)

Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 2  (CXCL2) is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family that is also called macrophage inflammatory protein 2-alpha  (MIP2-alpha), Growth-regulated protein beta  (Gro-beta) and Gro oncogene-2 (Gro-2). CXCL2 is 90% identical in amino acid sequence as a related chemokine, CXCL1. This chemokine is secreted by monocytes and macrophages and is chemotactic for polymorphonuclear leukocytes and hematopoietic stem cells. The gene for CXCL2 is located on human chromosome 4 in a cluster of other CXC chemokines. CXCL2 mobilizes cells by interacting with a cell surface chemokine receptor called CXCR2.

E. coli-derived rat CXCL2 recombinant protein (Position: S32-N100). Rat CXCL2 shares 62.3% and 88.4% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with huamn and mouse CXCL2, respectively.

Chemotactic for human polymorphonuclear leukocytes but does not induce chemokinesis or an oxidative burst. Contributes to neutrophil activation during inflammation.
