Description

General description

The murine homolog of ENA-78 is called LIX or chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 5 (CXCL5). LIX is a CXC chemokine that signals through the CXCR2 receptor. It is expressed in monocytes, platelets, endothelial cells and mast cells. LIX is a chemoattractant for neutrophils. The two naturally occurring variants of LIX; LIX 1-78 (GCP-2) and LIX 9-78 (GCP-2), contain 78 and 70 amino acid residues, respectively. LIX contains the four conserved cysteine residues present in CXC chemokines, and also contains the ‘ELR′ motif common to CXC chemokine that bind to the CXCR1 and CXCR2 receptors. Recombinant murine LIX is a 9.8kDa protein containing 93 amino acid residues.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 5 (CXCL5) may be involved in neutrophil trafficking in TH17 cell–mediated autoimmunity. It has a role in neutrophil homeostasis at mucosal sites. Murine models of colitis show an increased expression of CXCL5.

Physical form

Lyophilized from 5 mM HoAc.

Reconstitution

Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Do not vortex. This solution can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 week. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) and store in working aliquots at -20°C to -80°C.
