Rat CXCL7/PPBP ELISA Kit PicoKine®

Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 7 (CXCL7), also called PPBP or SCYB7, is a human gene. The encoded protein, Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family. CXCL7 is mapped to 4q13.3. It is a protein that is released in large amounts from platelets following their activation. CXCL7 is the precursor of the 2 platelet alpha-granule proteins, platelet basic protein (PBP) and connective tissue-activating peptide III (CTAP3) . It stimulates various processes including mitogenesis, synthesis of extracellular matrix, glucose metabolism and synthesis of plasminogen activator. It also stimulates the formation and secretion of plasminogen activator by synovial cells.
