Summary
Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
|
This antimicrobial gene is part of a chemokine superfamily that encodes secreted proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The superfamily is divided into four subfamilies based on the arrangement of the N-terminal cysteine residue |
UniProt ID |
P19875
|
Protein name |
C-X-C motif chemokine 2 (Growth-regulated protein beta) (Gro-beta) (Macrophage inflammatory protein 2-alpha) (MIP2-alpha) [Cleaved into: GRO-beta(5-73) (GRO-beta-T) (Hematopoietic synergistic factor) (HSF) (SB-251353)] |
Protein function |
Produced by activated monocytes and neutrophils and expressed at sites of inflammation. Hematoregulatory chemokine, which, in vitro, suppresses hematopoietic progenitor cell proliferation. GRO-beta(5-73) shows a highly enhanced hematopoietic act |
