BACKGROUND

Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1 (CXCL1) is a small molecule of cytokines belonging to the CXC chemokine family. Also known as growth-regulated oncogene alpha (Growth-regulated oncogene alpha, GROα). Its also known as keratinocytes-derived chemokine (KC) in mice or cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant type-1 (CINC-1) in rats. In humans, this protein is encoded by the gene Cxcl1 and is located on human chromosome 4 among genes for other CXC chemokines. The chemokine CXCL1 is expressed by macrophages, neutrophils and epithelial cells. The chemokine CXCL1 has a chemotactic effect on neutrophils. CXCL1 binds to the chemokine receptor CXCR2 and plays a role in cell chemotaxis. Human CXCL1 is clustered on chromosome 4 adjacent to many CXC chemokine genes. Major roles of CXCL1 include neovascularization, inflammation, wound healing, and tumorigenesis.

Data

SDS-PAGE

Bioactivity

Recombinant Mouse CXCL1 Protein was determined by SDS-PAGE with Coomassie Blue.

Measured in a cell proliferation assay using human umbilical vein endothelial cells. The ED50 for this effect is 50-100 ng/mL.
