Name : LIX/CXCL5 (74aa), Mouse

Product Concentration :

Background :
Mouse LIX (C-X-C motif chemokine 5) is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family that is cleaved into the following 2 chains [GCP-2(1-78) and GCP-2(9-78)]. Mouse LIX plays a role in reducing sensitivity to sunburn pain in some subjects, and is a potential target which could be used to understand more about pain in other inflammatory conditions. It is most closely related to two highly homologous human neutrophil chemoattractants GCP-2 and ENA-78. The first 78 amino acid residues within the predicted mature mouse LIX shares approximately 61% and 55% amino acid identity with human GCP-2 and ENA-78. This chemokine stimulates the chemotaxis of neutrophils possessing angiogenic properties. It elicits these effects by interacting with the cell surface chemokine receptor CXCR2.

Biological Activity :
The EC50 value of mouse LIX/CXCL5 (74aa) on Ca2+ mobilization assay in CHO-K1/Gα15/mCXCR2 cells (human Gα15 and mouse CXCR2 stably expressed in CHO-K1 cells) is less than 200.0 ng/ml.
