Macrophage Inflammatory protein-1 gamma (CCL9), mouse recombinant (rmMIP-1g)

Mouse recombinant MIP-1 gamma produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 101 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 11.6 kDa. Mouse MIP-1 gamma is 75% identical in its amino acid compostion as compared to the rat specie. MIP-1 gamma is a CC chemokine localized in murine blood and a widespread range of murine tissues, without having an identified human homolog. MIP-1 gamma signals through the CCR1 receptor. MIP-1 gamma chemoattracts neutrophils and also inhibits colony formation of bone marrow myeloid immature progenitors. MIP-1 gamma has six cysteines including the four highly conserved cysteine residues present in CC chemokines.
