Approximately 6.8 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 62 amino acids.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.
Reconstitution
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20 °C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
Background
CXCL7 is a small cytokine which is also an isoform of Beta-Thromboglobulin or Pro-Platelet basic protein belonging to the CXC chemokine family and it is released in large amounts from platelets following their activation. CXCL7 stimulates DNA synthesis, mitosis, glycolysis, intracellular cAMP accumulation, prostaglandin E2 secretion, and synthesis of hyaluronic acid and sulfated glycosaminoglycan. It also stimulates the formation and secretion of plasminogen activator by human synovial cells. Recombinant Rat CXCL7 contains 62 amino acids which is a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain. In addition, The rat CXCL7 shares 58 % and 77 % a.a. sequence identity with human and mouse CXCL7.
