Description
CXCL3, also known as DCIP1 in mouse, CINC2 in rat, and GROγ in humans, is belonging to the CXC chemokine family. The amino acid sequence of mouse CXCL3 is 57 % identical to human CXCL3. CXCL3 plays a role in inflammation and exert its effects on endothelial cells in an autocrine fashion. Similar to other alpha chemokines, the three GRO proteins are potent neutrophil attractants and activators. In addition, these chemokines are also active toward basophils. CXCL3 was reportedly associated with the invasion and metastasis of various malignancies. As a member of the chemokine family, CXCL3 was previously known to participate in many pathophysiological events. CXCL3 was found to be upregulated in aggressive cancer cells.

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℃. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
