Recombinant human CXCL13 protein with N-terminal human Fc tag

Expression Host : HEK293 B lymphocyte chemoattractant, independently cloned and named Angie, is an antimicrobial peptide and CXC chemokine strongly expressed in the follicles of the spleen, lymph nodes, and Peyer's patches. It preferentially promotes the migration of B lymphocytes (compared to T cells and macrophages), apparently by stimulating calcium influx into, and chemotaxis of, cells expressing Burkitt's lymphoma receptor 1 (BLR-1) . It may therefore function in the homing of B lymphocytes to follicles. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014] The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 35.09 kDa after removal of the signal peptide.
