| DEFINITION |
Interleukin-8 (99 aa, ~11 kDa) is encoded by the human CXCL8 gene. This protein is involved in chemotaxis and neutrophil activation. |
| DesignNote |
Interleukin-8 is cleaved into the following seven chains: MDNCF-a (GCP/IL-8 protein IV, IL8/NAP1 form I), Interleukin-8 ((Ala-IL-8)77, GCP/IL-8 protein II, IL-8(1-77), IL8/NAP1 form II, MDNCF-b), IL-8(5-77), IL-8(6-77) ((Ser-IL-8)72, GCP/IL-8 protein I, IL8/NAP1 form III, lymphocyte-derived neutrophil-activating factor, LYNAP, MDNCF-c, neutrophil-activating factor, NAF), IL-8(7-77) (GCP/IL-8 protein V, IL8/NAP1 form IV), IL-8(8-77) (GCP/IL-8 protein VI, IL8/NAP1 form V), and IL-8(9-77) (GCP/IL-8 protein III; IL8/NAP1 form VI).
