GoldBio growth factors are manufactured for RESEARCH USE ONLY and cannot be sold for human consumption!Recombinant Rat Chemokine (C-X-C motif) Ligand 14 (CXCL14) Macrophage Inflammatory Protein 2, Gamma (MIP2γ, MIP-2-γ) Small Inducible Cytokine Subfamily B Member 13 (SCYB13) B-Cell And Monocyte-Activating Chemokine (BMAC) Homolog of Human Breast and Kidney Cell Chemokine (BRAK) KS1Rat CXCL14 is a CXC chemokine lacking the ELR motif. It is expressed constitutively in many normal tissues, including brain, lung, ovaries, kidneys, and muscle. CXCL14 is chemotactic for monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, activated NK cells, and B cells. It possesses tumor suppressing function in certain cancers possibly due to migrations of NK cells, inhibition of angiogenesis, and reduction of settlement rate of tumor cells. However in contradiction, it can induce tumor growth in other types of cancers. CXCL14 is a natural antagonist for CXCR4 and inhibits CXCL12.Sterile Filtered White lyophilized powder.
