Target Background | Granulocyte chemotactic protein 2 (GCP-2) also known as Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 6 (CXCL6) is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family. As its former name suggests, GCP-2 is a chemoattractant for neutrophilic granulocytes. Among human CXC chemokines, GCP2 is most closely related to ENA78 (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 GCP2 and ENA78 also exhibit close similarity suggesting the two genes may have originated from a gene duplication. GCP2 can signal through the CXCR1 and CXCR2 receptors. |
Name | CXCL6 |
---|---|
Synonyms | GCP2, SCYB6 |
Function | Chemotactic for neutrophil granulocytes. Signals through binding and activation of its receptors (CXCR1 and CXCR2). In addition to its chemotactic and angiogenic properties, it has strong antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (90-fold-higher when compared to CXCL5 and CXCL7). |
Cellular Location | Secreted. |
