Biological Activity | The EC50 value of rat Thymus Chemokine‑1/CXCL7 on Ca2+ mobilization assay in CHO-K1/Gα15/rCXCR2 cells (human Gα15 and rat CXCR2 stably expressed in CHO-K1 cells) is less than 300.0 ng/ml. |
Expression System | CHO |
Formulation | Lyophilized after extensive dialysis against PBS. |
Reconstitution | It is recommended that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute the lyophilized powder in ddH₂O or PBS up to 100 µg/ml. |
Storage & Stability | Upon receiving, this product remains stable for up to 6 months at lower than -70°C. Upon reconstitution, the product should be stable for up to 1 week at 4°C or up to 3 months at -20°C. For long term storage it is recommended that a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) be added. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. |
Target Background | Thymus Chemokine‑1, also called Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 7 (CXCL7) , is a member of the CXC chemokines. Similar to other ELR domain containing CXC chemokines such as IL-8 and the GRO proteins, Thymus Chemokine‑1 has been shown to bind CXCR-2 and be a chemoattractant forneutrophils and play a role in their activation. Although CTAP-III, β-TG and PBP represent amino-terminal extended variants of Thymus Chemokine‑1 and possess the same CXC chemokine domains, these proteins do not exhibit Thymus Chemokine‑1 activity. Recently, it has been shown that the additional amino-terminal residues of CTAP-III mask the critical ELR receptor binding domain that is exposed on Thymus Chemokine‑1 and may account for lack of Thymus Chemokine‑1 activity. Rat CXCL7 shares 72% amino acid sequence identity with mouse CXCL7. |
