Involved in neutrophil activation. In vitro, ENA-78(8-78) and ENA-78(9-78) show a threefold higher chemotactic activity for neutrophil granulocytes.
基因名
CXCL5
蛋白名
C-X-C motif chemokine 5
亚细胞定位
Secreted.
翻译后修饰
GCP-2(1-78) and GCP-2(9-78) are produced by proteolytic cleavage after secretion from fibroblasts and epithelial cells. GCP-2(9-78) is the most prominent form. A number of additional N-terminal (processed between pos. 41 and 48) and C-terminal (processed between pos. 118 and 132) processed forms have been identified, probably also representing intermediate states.
相似性
Belongs to the intercrine alpha (chemokine CxC) family.
功能
May participate in the recruitment of inflammatory cells by injured or infected tissue. GCP-2(1-78) and, more potent, GCP-2(9-78) attract neutrophils and are involved in neutrophil activation.
