Application

C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 1 (CXCL1) from mouse has been used in transwell assay for chemotaxis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

All three isoforms of growth-related protein (GRO) are CXC chemokines that can signal through C-X-C motif chemokine receptors 1 or 2 (CXCR1 or 2). The GRO proteins chemoattract and activate neutrophils and basophils. It has a role in host defense against polymicrobial sepsis, upregulation of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and migration of neutrophils. The protein also activates mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), pro-inflammatory proteins and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB).

General description

C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 1 (CXCL1) is also known as keratinocyte-derived chemokine (KC). It is part of the glutamate-leucine-arginine (ELR)-containing CXC chemokine family. Recombinant Murine KC (CXCL1) is a 7.8kDa protein consisting of 72 amino acids including the ‘;ELR’; motif common to the CXC chemokine family that bind to CXCR1 or CXCR2.

Physical form

Lyophilized with no additives.

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.
