Description: Granulocyte chemotactic protein 2 (GCP-2) also known as Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 6 (CXCL6) is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family. As its former name suggests, GCP-2 is a chemoattractant for neutrophilic granulocytes. Among human CXC chemokines, GCP2 is most closely related to ENA78 (78% amino acid (aa) sequence identity in the mature peptide region and 86% identity in the signal sequence). The structure and sequence of the genes for human GCP2 and ENA78 also exhibit close similarity suggesting the two genes may have originated from a gene duplication. GCP2 can signal through the CXCR1 and CXCR2 receptors.Recombinant human GCP-2/CXCL6 produced in CHO cells is a polypeptide chain containing 72 amino acids. A fully biologically active molecule, rhGCP-2/CXCL6 has a molecular mass of 9 kDa analyzed by reducing SDS-PAGE and is obtained by chromatographic techniques at GenScript.
