Description

A single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 74 amino acids corresponding to CCL8/MCP-2 Source: E. coli

Uniprot ID: Q9Z121

Amino Acid Sequence: GPDKAPVTCC FHVLKLKIPL RVLKSYERIN NIQCPMEAVV FQTKQGMSLC VDPTQKWVSE YMEILDQKSQ ILQP

This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8 degrees C, but should be kept at -20 degrees C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is most stable at -20 to -80 degrees C, and can be stored for one week at 2-8 degrees C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20 degrees C to -80 degrees C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Purity

> 97 % pure by SDS-PAGE and HPLC

Endotoxin Level

Less than 1 EU/ug of CCL8/MCP-2 as determined by LAL method.

Predicted Molecular Mass

8.5 kDa.
Disclaimer note: The observed molecular weight of the protein may vary from the listed predicted molecular weight due to post translational modifications, post translation cleavages, relative charges, and other experimental factors.

Activity

CCL8/MCP-2 protein is fully biologically active when compared to standard. The biological activity determined by a chemotaxis bioassay using human peripheral blood monocytes is in a concentration range of 10-100 ng/ml

Background: CCL8/MCP-2

Murine CCL8, also known as monocyte chemotactic protein 2 (MCP-2), is belonging to the CC chemokine family and is encoded by the gene CCL8 in mouse. MCP-2 has two homogeneous MCP-1 (CCL2) and MCP-3 (CCL7). These three MCPs were found by IL-1-beta triggered human MG-63 osteosarcoma cells. CCL8 shares 62 % amino acid sequence identity with MCP-1, and shares 58 % amino acid sequence identity with MCP-2. CCL8 has chemotactic fuction for monocytes, eosinophils and neutrophils. In addition, it can also chemoattract activated NK cells.
