CXCL10 Human Active Protein

CXCL10 (IP-10) was originally identified as an IFN-gamma-inducible gene in endothelial, fibroblasts and monocytes cells. IP-10 is considered a member of the CXC chemokine subfamily from its protein sequence which includes the four conserved cysteine residues present in CXC chemokines. IP-10 signals through the CXCR3 receptor to selectively attract Th1 lymphocytes and monocytes. It also has angiostatic and mitogenic properties on vascular smooth muscle cells. A diverse population of cell types rapidly increases transcription of mRNA encoding IP-10, which suggests that gamma-induced protein may be a key mediator of the IFNG/IFN-gamma response.

Small volumes of CXCL10 active protein vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS444022 is an active protein targeting CXCL10. Also known as Human CXCL10 (IP-10). Host: E Coli derived.
