Macrophage inflammatory protein 1-alpha, Small-inducible cytokine A3
Monokine with inflammatory and chemokinetic properties. Has chemotactic activity for monocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, and lymphocytes. Required for lung TNF-alpha production, neutrophil recruitment and subsequent lung injury and may function as an autocrine mediator for the macrophage production of TNF-alpha which in turn up-regulates vascular adhesion molecules required for neutrophil influx. This protein binds heparin.
Biological Activity
Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The biological activity determined by a chemoattract bioassay using human blood monocytes is in a concentration range of 10-100ng/ml.
