GRO Recombinant Protein

All three isoforms of GRO are CXC chemokines that can signal through the CXCR1 or CXCR2 receptors. The GRO proteins chemoattract and activate neutrophils and basophils. Recombinant rat GRO/KC is a 7.8 kDa protein consisting of 72 amino acids including the 'ELR' motif common to the CXC chemokine family that bind to CXCR1 or CXCR2.

The lyophilized GRO recombinant protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20˚ C. Reconstituted GRO is stable for at least 3 months when stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -20˚ C. As with any protein, exposing GRO recombinant protein to repeated freeze / thaw cycles is not recommended. When working with proteins care should be taken to keep recombinant protein at a cool and stable temperature.
