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.
