CXCL7 is an ERL+ chemokine that is secreted by activated platelets, neutrophils, lymphocytes, and macrophages as a precursor. Pro-platelet basic protein or leukocyte derived grow factor (PPBP/LDGF) (a protein of ~14 kD) is modified by post-transcriptional cleavage to give rise to connective tissue activating peptide (CTAP-III), CXCL7, β-thromboglobulin (β-TG), and two variants of thrombocidin (TC-1 and TC-2). CTAP-III is activated by enzymatic proteolysis performed by cell surface-bound cathepsin G (CathG), a chymotryptic serine protease found in primary neutrophil granules. In this way, neutrophils are the mayor cells that convert CTAP-III into CXCL7. In addition, monocytes and mast cells can proteolytically modify CTAP-III to produce CXCL7. In fact, CathG has been detected in mast cells in addition to chymase, another chymotryptic enzyme. Further C-terminal truncations, that eliminate the last four and seven amino acids in CXCL7, generate two additional natural isoforms; these variants are more potent neutrophils activators.
High levels of CTAP-III have been detected in plasma of patients with lung cancer. In fact, it has been suggested as a biomarker for early lung cancer detection. An increase in positive immunostained cells has been detected in the bronchial submucosa of patients with stable severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Also, studies with premalignant breast cancer cells transfected with CXCL7 showed that these cells became as invasive as malignant breast cancer cells. In addition, CXCL7 induces stimulation of the lymphangiogenic factors VEGF-C and VEGF-D in human breast cancer cells, suggesting an important role for CXCL7 in tumor invasion.

• Learn more about our Recombinant Proteins. - How does the activity of your recombinant proteins compare to competitors?
-
We quality control each and every lot of recombinant protein. Not only do we check its bioactivity, but we also compare it against other commercially available recombinant proteins. We make sure each recombinant protein’s activity is at least as good as or better than the competition’s. In order to provide you with the best possible product, we ensure that our testing process is rigorous and thorough. If you’re curious and eager to make the switch to BioLegend recombinants, contact your sales representative today!
- What is the specific activity or ED50 of my recombinant protein?
-
The specific activity range of the protein is indicated on the product datasheets. Because the exact activity values on a per unit basis can largely fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including the nature of the assay, cell density, age of cells/passage number, culture media used, and end user technique, the specific activity is best defined as a range and we guarantee the specific activity of all our lots will be within the range indicated on the datasheet. Please note this only applies to recombinants labeled for use in bioassays. ELISA standard recombinant proteins are not recommended for bioassay usage as they are not tested for these applications.
- Have your recombinants been tested for stability?
-
Our testing shows that the recombinant proteins are able to withstand room temperature for a week without losing activity. In addition the recombinant proteins were also found to withstand four cycles of freeze and thaw without losing activity.
- Does specific activity of a recombinant protein vary between lots?
-
Specific activity will vary for each lot and for the type of experiment that is done to validate it, but all passed lots will have activity within the established ED50 range for the product and we guarantee that our products will have lot-to-lot consistency. Please conduct an experiment-specific validation to find the optimal ED50 for your system.
- How do you convert activity as an ED50 in ng/ml to a specific activity in Units/mg?
-
Use formula Specific activity (Units/mg) = 10^6/ ED50 (ng/mL)
