Other Names | C-X-C motif chemokine 2, Macrophage inflammatory protein 2, MIP2, Cxcl2, Mip-2, Mip2, Scyb2 |
Target Background | Macrophage Inflammatory Protein 2 (MIP-2) was originally identified as a heparin binding protein secreted from a mouse macrophage cell line in response to endotoxin stimulation. Based on its protein and DNA sequences, MIP-2 is a member of the alpha (CXC) subfamily of chemokines.Similarly to other alpha chemokines, mouse MIP-2 is a potent neutrophil attractant and activator. MIP-2 and KC can bind the mouse interleukin 8 type B receptor homologue with high affinity. The expression of MIP-2 was found to be associated with neutrophil influx in pulmonary inflammation and glomerulonephritis, suggesting that MIP-2 may contribute to the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. |
Name | Cxcl2 |
