Background: Growth regulated oncogene-gamma belongs to the family of chemotyctic cytokines called chemokines. It is identical with MGSA (melanoma growth stimulatory activity) and the new designation is CXCL3. This factor is known mainly because of its chemotactic activity. GRO expression is inducible by serum or PDGF and/or by a variety of inflammatory mediators, such as IL-1 and TNF, in monocytes, fibroblasts, melanocytes and epithelial cells. In certain tumor cell lines, GRO is expressed constitutively. Similar to other alpha chemokines, the three GRO proteins are potent neutrophil attractants and activators. In addition, these chemokines are also active toward basophils. All three GROs can bind with high affinity to the IL-8 receptor type B.

Description: Recombinant GRO-gamma is a disulfide-linked homodimeric protein consisting of 74 amino acid residues, and migrates as an approximately 8 kDa protein under non-reducing and reducing conditions in SDS-PAGE. Optimized DNA sequence encoding human GRO-gamma (CXCL3) mature chain was expressed in E. coli.
