Gene: CXCL2

Alternate names for this Gene: CINC-2a|GRO2|GROb|MGSA-b|MIP-2a|MIP2|MIP2A|SCYB2

Gene Summary: This antimicrobial gene is part of a chemokine superfamily that encodes secreted proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The superfamily is divided into four subfamilies based on the arrangement of the N-terminal cysteine residues of the mature peptide. This chemokine, a member of the CXC subfamily, is expressed at sites of inflammation and may suppress hematopoietic progenitor cell proliferation.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 4

Location in Chromosome : 4q13.3

Description of this Gene: C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
