GCP-2 (granulocyte chemotactic protein-2) also known as CXCL6, is a CXC chemokine initially isolated as a neutrophil chemoattractant from the MG-63 osteosarcoma cell line. Among human CXC chemokines, GCP-2 is most closely related to ENA-78 (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 GCP-2 and ENA-78 also exhibit close similarity suggesting the two genes may have originated from a gene duplication. LIX (LPS-induced CXC chemokine) was initially cloned as a gene induced by LPS in mouse fibroblasts. The predicted LIX protein sequence is identical to a previously purified mouse protein designated mouse GCP-2 based on its amino sequence similarity (60% sequence identity) to human GCP-2. Mouse GCP-2/LIX is also 54% identical with human ENA-78 at the amino acid sequence level. Product Properties Synonyms Human GCP-2/CXCL6 Accession P80162 GeneID 6372 Source E.coli-derived Human CXCL6,Val43-Val114. Molecular Weight Approximately 7.9 kDa AA Sequence VLTELRCTCL RVTLRVNPKT IGKLQVFPAG PQCSKVEVVA SLKNGKQVCL DPEAPFLKKV IQKILDSGNK KN Tag None Physical Appearance Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. Purity > 98% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses. Biological Activity Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The biological activity determined by a chemotaxis bioassay using human neutrophils is in a concentration range of 10-50 ng/mL. Endotoxin < 0.1 EU per 1μg of the protein by the LAL method. Formulation Lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4. Reconstitution We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20°C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions. Shipping and Storage The products are shipped with ice pack and can be stored at -20℃ to -80℃ for 1 year. Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities when first used and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Cautions 1.Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycle. 2.For your safety and health, please wear lab coats and disposable gloves for operation. 3.For research use only.
