IL-8/CXCL8 Protein, Cynomolgus (HEK293, His)
Based on 1 Customer Validation
IL-8/CXCL8 protein, a vital chemotactic factor, orchestrates inflammatory responses by attracting neutrophils, basophils, and T-cells to clear pathogens. It activates neutrophils and binds to CXCR1/CXCR2 receptors, initiating downstream signaling pathways. IL-8/CXCL8 homodimerizes, disrupted by tick evasin-3, and interacts with TNFAIP6, potentially regulating chemokine activity in the inflammatory microenvironment. IL-8/CXCL8 Protein, Cynomolgus (HEK293, His) is the recombinant cynomolgus-derived IL-8/CXCL8 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with N-His labeled tag.

Background
IL-8/CXCL8 protein serves as a pivotal chemotactic factor, playing a central role in mediating inflammatory responses by attracting neutrophils, basophils, and T-cells to effectively clear pathogens and protect the host from infections. It also contributes significantly to neutrophil activation. Released in response to inflammatory stimuli, IL-8/CXCL8 exerts its effects by binding to G-protein-coupled receptors CXCR1 and CXCR2, primarily found in neutrophils, monocytes, and endothelial cells. The G-protein heterotrimer (alpha, beta, gamma subunits) constitutively binds to CXCR1/CXCR2 receptors, and activation by IL-8 leads to the release of beta and gamma subunits from Galpha (GNAI2 in neutrophils) and subsequent activation of downstream signaling pathways, including PI3K and MAPK pathways. IL-8/CXCL8 forms homodimers, and this dimerization is disrupted by tick evasin-3. Furthermore, IL-8/CXCL8 interacts with TNFAIP6 via its Link domain, and this interaction interferes with chemokine binding to glycosaminoglycans, suggesting a regulatory role in modulating chemokine activity within the inflammatory microenvironment.

Product Properties
Lyophilized powder.
Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.
<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.
It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).
Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
