CXCL3, GRO3, GROG, SCYB3, C-X-C motif chemokine 3, GRO-gamma(1-73), Growth-regulated protein gamma, GRO-gamma, Macrophage inflammatory protein 2-beta, MIP2-beta
This antimicrobial gene encodes a member of the CXC subfamily of chemokines. The encoded protein is a secreted growth factor that signals through the G-protein coupled receptor, CXC receptor 2. This protein plays a role in inflammation and as a chemoattractant for neutrophils. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014],function:Ligand for CXCR2 (By similarity). Has chemotactic activity for neutrophils. May play a role in inflammation and exert its effects on endothelial cells in an autocrine fashion. In vitro, the processed form GRO-gamma(5-73) shows a fivefold higher chemotactic activity for neutrophilic granulocytes.,online information:CXCL3 entry,PTM:N-terminal processed form GRO-gamma(5-73) is produced by proteolytic cleavage after secretion from peripheral blood monocytes.,similarity:Belongs to the intercrine alpha (chemokine CxC) family.,
