UniProt functional annotation for P19876

UniProt code: P19876.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Ligand for CXCR2 (By similarity). Has chemotactic activity for neutrophils. May play a role in inflammation and exert its effects on endothelial cells in an autocrine fashion. In vitro, the processed form GRO-gamma(5-73) shows a fivefold higher chemotactic activity for neutrophilic granulocytes. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10095777}.
 
Subcellular location: Secreted.
Ptm: N-terminal processed form GRO-gamma(5-73) is 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}.
