GROα Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

This antimicrobial gene encodes a member of the CXC subfamily of chemokines. The encoded protein is a secreted growth factor that signals through the G-protein coupled receptor, CXC receptor 2. This protein plays a role in inflammation and as a chemoattractant for neutrophils. Aberrant expression of this protein is associated with the growth and progression of certain tumors. A naturally occurring processed form of this protein has increased chemotactic activity. Alternate splicing results in coding and non-coding variants of this gene. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 4. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014], function:Has chemotactic activity for neutrophils. May play a role in inflammation and exerts its effects on endothelial cells in an autocrine fashion. In vitro, the processed forms GRO-alpha (4-73), GRO-alpha (5-73) and GRO-alpha (6-73) show a 30-fold higher chemotactic activity., online information:CXCL1 entry, PTM:N-terminal processed forms GRO-alpha (4-73), GRO-alpha (5-73) and GRO-alpha (6-73) are produced by proteolytic cleavage after secretion from peripheral blood monocytes., similarity:Belongs to the intercrine alpha (chemokine CxC) family.
