Description: Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 2 (CXCL2) is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family that is also called macrophage inflammatory protein 2-alpha (MIP2-alpha), Growth-regulated protein beta (Gro-beta) and Gro oncogene-2 (Gro-2). CXCL2 is 90% identical in amino acid sequence to a related chemokine, CXCL1. CXCL2 is secreted by monocytes and macrophages and is chemotactic for polymorphonuclear leukocytes and hematopoietic stem cells. CXCL2 can signal through the CXCR2 receptor.Recombinant mouse MIP-2/CXCL2 produced in E.coli is a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 73 amino acids. A fully biologically active molecule, rmMIP-2/CXCL2 has a molecular mass of 8 kDa analyzed by reducing SDS-PAGE and is obtained by chromatographic techniques at GenScript.
