GRO-ALPHA, HUMAN

General Description

All three isoforms of GRO are CXC chemokines that can signal through the CXCR1 or CXCR2 receptors. The GRO proteins chemoattract and activate neutrophils and basophils. Recombinant rat KC is a 7.8 kDa protein consisting of 72 amino acids including the ‘ELR′ motif common to the CXC chemokine family that bind to CXCR1 or CXCR2.
