NAP-2/CXCL7 Protein, Mouse (74a.a, His)

Cat. No.: HY-P75698
COA Handling Instructions

CXCL7 (also known as neutrophil activating peptide 2, NAP-2) is a platelet-derived growth factor that belongs to the ELR+ CXC chemokine family, functioning as a potent chemoattractant and activator of neutrophils through binding to its receptor CXCR2. NAP-2/CXCL7 Protein, Mouse (74a.a, His) is produced in E.coil with a N-Terminal His-tag. It consists of 74 amino acids (K40-Y113).

Description

CXCL7 (also known as neutrophil activating peptide 2, NAP-2) is a platelet-derived growth factor that belongs to the ELR+ CXC chemokine family, functioning as a potent chemoattractant and activator of neutrophils through binding to its receptor CXCR2[1]. NAP-2/CXCL7 Protein, Mouse (74a.a, His) is produced in E.coil with a N-Terminal His-tag. It consists of 74 amino acids (K40-Y113).

Background

CXCL7 is an important chemoattractant cytokine, which signals through binding to its receptor CXCR2. Many cells, including leucocytes and stromal cells, express CXCL7. CXCL7 is a potent chemoattractant and activator of neutrophil function[1][2].
CXCL7, a member of the CXC chemokine subfamily, is translated as a proprotein and cleaved into several smaller forms, each with particular functions. In humans, the CXCL7 gene is translated as a 14 kDa proprotein, designated leucocytederived growth factor (LDGF), which is cleaved into several smaller forms, platelet basic protein (PBP), connective tissue activating protein III (CTAP-III) and β-thrombogulin (β-TG), and NAP-2. The longest form, PBP or LDGF, is expressed in platelets and megakaryocytes and is reported to be a fibroblast mitogen. CTAP-III is a 85 amino acid protein and can be converted to 70 amino acid NAP-2 by enzymatic removal of 15 residues. CTAP-III is suggested to support megakaryocyte maturation and platelet production and is involved in resistance to mycobacteria by augmenting reactive oxygen production. NAP-2, the smallest protein in this series, is a neutrophil-activating mediator, stimulating functions such as lysosomal enzyme degranulation, but is reported to inhibit megakaryocytopoiesis[2].
CXCL7 has been demonstrated to participate in a variety of cellular processes, such as DNA synthesis, glycolysis, mitosis, intracellular cAMP accumulation, prostaglandin E2 secretion, as well as the synthesis of hyaluronic acid and plasminogen activator. Moreover, it is also an antimicrobial protein with bactericidal and antifungal activity. Recently, CXCL7 has been found to be deregulated in human cancers, and plays a role in tumor growth. For instance, CXCL7 is found to promote the growth of clear cell renal cell carcinoma. The CXCL7/CXCR2 signaling plays a promoting role in several common malignancies, including lung, renal, colon, and breast cancer[1].

In Vitro

Recombinant mouse CXCL7 (.1 ng/mL, .3 ng/mL, 1 ng/mL, 3 ng/mL, 1 ng/mL; 6 days) increases the number of osteoclastic TRAP positive multinuclear cells in mouse bone marrow cells[3].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.

The reconstitution calculator equation

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration
= ÷

The dilution calculator equation

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

The specific activity calculator equation

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)
Unit/mg = 106 ÷ ng/mL
