Mouse Exodus-2 Recombinant

Recombinant mouse Exodus-2 is a disulfide-linked homodimeric protein consisting of 111 amino acid residues, and migrates as an approximately 12 kDa protein under non-reducing and reducing conditions in SDS-PAGE. Optimized DNA sequence encoding murine Exodus-2 mature chain was expressed inE. coli.

Product Specifications

Background

Exodus-2, which is a member of the family of CC- Chemokines, has a unique 36 (murine) or 37 (human) amino acid carboxyl-terminal extension not seen in other chemokines. Exodus-2 selectively stimulates the chemotaxis of adult T-lymphocytes and is expressed preferentially in lymph node tissue. Exodus-2 is critical for adult T-cell adhesion to high endothelial venules in lymph nodes, a rate-limiting step for T-cell trafficking through nodal tissue.
