| UniProt functional annotation for P09341 | |||
| UniProt code: P09341. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Has chemotactic activity for neutrophils. May play a role in inflammation and exerts its effects on endothelial cells in an autocrine fashion. In vitro, the processed forms GRO-alpha(4-73), GRO- alpha(5-73) and GRO-alpha(6-73) show a 30-fold higher chemotactic activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10095777}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Secreted. | |
| Ptm: | N-terminal processed forms GRO-alpha(4-73), GRO-alpha(5-73) and GRO-alpha(6-73) are produced by proteolytic cleavage after secretion from peripheral blood monocytes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10095777}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the intercrine alpha (chemokine CxC) family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
