Recombinant Human GRO- Gamma/CXCL3 protein

CXCL3, also named GRO-γ, is belonging to the CXC chemokine family and encoded by the gene CXCL3. CXCL3/GRO-γ shares 86 % amino acid sequence with CXCL1/GRO-α. All three human GROs (GRO-α, GRO-β, GRO-γ) are members of the intercrine alpha (chemokine C-X-C) subfamily of chemokines. This chemokine is secreted by monocytes and macrophages. The functional receptor for CXCL3 has been identified as CXCR2. Similar to other GRO proteins, CXCL3 is potent neutrophil attractants and activators. CXCL3 plays a role in inflammation and exert its effects on endothelial cells in an autocrine fashion. All three GROs can bind with high affinity to the IL-8 receptor type B.
