Recombinant protein corresponding to rat CXCL5 expressed in E. coli. Species sequence homology: human (58.7%) and mouse (76.3%).
C-X-C motif chemokine 5 or ENA-78 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CXCL5 gene. The protein encoded by this gene, CXCL5 is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family. It is produced following stimulation of cells with the inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1 or tumor necrosis factor-alpha. Expression of CXCL5 has also been observed ineosinophils, and can be inhibited with the type II interferon IFN-gamma. This chemokine stimulates the chemotaxis of neutrophils possessing angiogenic properties. It elicits these effects by interacting with the cell surface chemokine receptor CXCR2. The gene for CXCL5 is encoded on four exons and is located on human chromosome 4 amongst several other CXC chemokine genes. CXCL5 has been implicated in connective tissue remodelling. Also, CXCL5 has been described to regulate neutrophil homeostasis. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
