Mouse SDF-1/CXCL12 ELISA Kit PicoKine®

• Background:

  SDF-1 (stromal cell-derived factor-1) is small cytokine belonging to the chemokine family that is officially designated Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 12 (CXCL12) . This gene is located on chromosome 10q11.1. SDF-1 is produced in two forms, SDF-1alpha/CXCL12a and SDF-1beta/CXCL12b, by alternate splicing of the same gene. Chemokines are characterized by the presence of four conserved cysteines, which form two disulfide bonds. The CXCL12 proteins belong to the group of CXC chemokines, whose initial pair of cysteines are separated by one intervening amino acid. CXCL12 is strongly chemotactic for lymphocytes. CXCL12 was shown to be expressed in many tissues in mice (including brain, thymus, heart, lung, liver, kidney, spleen and bone marrow) . CXCL12 is a highly efficacious lymphocyte chemoattractant. In addition, CXCL12 induces intracellular actin polymerization in lymphocytes. CXCL12 is a substrate for the matrix metalloproteinase-2, which cleaves an CXCL12 N-terminal tetrapeptide. The standard product used in this kit is recombinant SDF-1 with the molecular mass of 8Kda.
