Introduction
Granulocyte Chemotactic Protein 2 (CXCL6), also known as GCP-2, is a Chemotactic for neutrophil granulocytes. GCP-2 signals through binding and activation of its receptors (CXCR1 and CXCR2). GCP-2 has strong antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria In addition to its chemotactic and angiogenic property.
Description
GCP-2 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 72 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 7.9kDa.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
GCP-2 protein was lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.
Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized GCP-2 in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability
Lyophilized GCP-2 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution GCP-2 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Greater than 98.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

VLTELRCTCL RVTLRVNPKT IGKLQVFPAG PQCSKVEVVA SLKNGKQVCL DPEAPFLKKV IQKILDSGNK KN.
Biological Activity
Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The biological activity determined by a chemotaxis bioassay using human neutrophils is in a concentration range of 10-50 ng/ml corresponding to a specific activity of 20,000-100,000 IU/mg.
