Product Specs

Introduction

Granulocyte Chemotactic Protein 2 (CXCL6), also referred to as GCP-2, is a chemoattractant for neutrophil granulocytes. It functions by binding to and activating its receptors, CXCR1 and CXCR2. GCP-2 exhibits potent antibacterial effects against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, in addition to its chemotactic and angiogenic properties.

Description

Recombinant Bovine Granulocyte Chemotactic Protein 2 (CXCL6), produced in E. coli, is a non-glycosylated polypeptide chain composed of 76 amino acids with an approximate molecular weight of 8.0 kDa. The purification of GCP2 is achieved using proprietary chromatographic methods.

Physical Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered concentrated solution in 20 mM PB and 500 mM NaCl, pH 7.0.

Solubility

For reconstitution of the lyophilized Granulocyte Chemotactic Protein 2 (CXCL6), it is recommended to use sterile 18 MΩ-cm H2O at a concentration not less than 100 µg/ml. This solution can be further diluted into other aqueous solutions as needed.

Stability

Lyophilized GCP2, while stable at room temperature for up to 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated at a temperature below -18 °C. After reconstitution, Granulocyte Chemotactic Protein 2 (CXCL6) should be stored at 4 °C for a period of 2-7 days. For long-term storage, it is recommended to store below -18 °C. It is important to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Purity

The purity is determined to be greater than 97.0% using the following methods:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Biological Activity

The biological activity, as measured by a chemotaxis bioassay using human neutrophils, is in the range of 10-50 ng/ml.

Synonyms

C-X-C motif chemokine 6, Chemokine alpha 3, CKA-3, Granulocyte chemotactic protein 2, GCP-2, Small-inducible cytokine B6.

Product Science Overview

Introduction

Granulocyte Chemotactic Protein 2 (GCP-2), also known as CXCL6, is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family. It is a chemoattractant for neutrophilic granulocytes, meaning it plays a crucial role in directing these immune cells to sites of infection or inflammation .

Structure and Production

The bovine recombinant form of CXCL6 is produced in Escherichia coli (E. coli) and is a non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 76 amino acids. It has a molecular mass of approximately 8.0 kDa . The recombinant protein is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques to ensure high purity and biological activity .

Biological Activity

CXCL6 exerts its chemotactic effects by interacting with the chemokine receptors CXCR1 and CXCR2 . It has strong antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, in addition to its chemotactic and angiogenic properties . The biological activity of CXCL6 is determined by a chemotaxis bioassay using human neutrophils, with an effective concentration range of 10-50 ng/ml .

Stability and Storage

The lyophilized form of CXCL6 is stable at room temperature for up to three weeks but should be stored desiccated below -18°C for long-term storage. Upon reconstitution, it should be stored at 4°C for short-term use (2-7 days) and below -18°C for future use. It is important to avoid freeze-thaw cycles to maintain its stability and activity .

Applications

CXCL6 is used extensively in laboratory research to study its role in chemotaxis, immune response, and its potential therapeutic applications in inflammation and cancer . Its ability to recruit neutrophils and its antibacterial properties make it a valuable tool in understanding immune mechanisms and developing new treatments.
