Recombinant Rat LIX (CXCL5)

Recombinant Rat LIX (CXCL5)

• Description: Epithelial neutrophil-activating protein 78 (ENA-78) is a member of the CXC chemokines and acts as a potent chemoattractant and activator of neutrophil function. On stimulation in vitro, ENA-78 is highly expressed in many cell types. ENA-78 protein levels are strongly elevated in synovial fluid and blood of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. By in situ hybridization and immunofluorescence staining, ENA-78 has been recognized as a major CXC chemokine expressed in epithelial cells of the intestinal mucosa of patients with Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and acute appendicitis.
• CAS Number: 9000-83-3
• Gene Name: CXCL5
• Gene Aliases: Cytokine LIX, Small-inducible cytokine B5, C-X-C motif chemokine 5
• Gene ID: 60665
• Accession Number: P97885
• Organism: Rat
• Source: E. coli
• Concentration: <1.0 EU/μg of recombinant protein as determined by the LAL method.
• Purity: >95% as determined by SDS-PAGE
• Solubility: A quick spin of the vial followed by reconstitution in distilled water to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers.
• Function: Determined by its ability to chemoattract human neutrophils using a concentration range of 2.0-40.0 ng/mL.
• Molecular Weight: 11
