SDF-1 alpha/CXCL12, Human (His)

SDF-1 alpha (Stromal Cell-Derived Factor-1α, SDF-1α) is a member of the chemokine α subfamily that lack the ELR domain. SDF-1α works as a chemoattractant for T- and B-lymphocytes and monocytes. SDF-1α is a ligand for CXCR4. The SDF-1α/CXCR4 signaling mediates many physiological processes including cell trafficking, angiogenesis, embryogenesis, tumor invasion and metastatic. It also controls the chemotaxis of hematopoietic stem cells homing to the bone marrow[1][2]. SDF-1 alpha/CXCL12 Protein, Human (His) is produced in E. coli with a N-Terminal His-tag. It consists of 68 amino acids (K22-K89).
