Neutrophil Activating Protein 3 (NAP3) Active Protein | NAP3 active protein
Active Neutrophil Activating Protein 3 (NAP3)
The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37 degree C for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
Activity Data
(Figure. The chemotactic effect of NAP3 on THP-1 cells.Neutrophil-activating protein 3 (NAP3) also known as chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1 (CXCL1) is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family. NAP3 is expressed by macrophages, neutrophils and epithelial cells,and has neutrophil chemoattractant activity. Thus, chemotaxis assay used 24-well microchemotaxis system was undertaken to detect the chemotactic effect of NAP3 on the human monocytic cell line THP-1. Briefly, THP-1 cells were seeded into the upper chambers (100uL cell suspension, 106 cells/mL in RPMI 1640 with FBS free) and SLC (31.25ng/mL, 62.5ng/mL,125ng/mL and 250ng/mL diluted separately in serum free RPMI 1640) was added in lower chamber with a polycarbonate filter (8um pore size) used to separate the two compartments. After incubation at 37 degree C with 5% CO2 for 1h, the filter was removed, then cells in low chamber were observed by inverted microscope at low magnification (×100) and the number of migrated cells were counted at high magnification (×400) randomly (five fields for each filter). Result shows NAP3 is able to induce migration of THP-1 cells. The migrated THP-1 cells in low chamber at low magnification (×100) were shown in Figure 1. Five fields of each chamber were randomly chosen, and the migrated cells were counted at high magnification (×400). Statistical results were shown in Figure 2. The optimum chemotaxis of NAP3 occurs at 31.25-250ng/mL.(A) THP-1 cells were seeded into the upper chambers and serum free RPMI 1640 with 62.5ng/mL NAP3 was added in lower chamber, then cells in lower chamber were observed at low magnification (×100) after incubation for 1h; (B) THP-1 cells were seeded into the upper chambers and serum free RPMI 1640 without NAP3 was added in lower chamber, then cells in lower chamber were observed at low magnification (×100) after incubation for 1h.)

NCBI Description
This antimicrobial gene encodes a member of the CXC subfamily of chemokines. The encoded protein is a secreted growth factor that signals through the G-protein coupled receptor, CXC receptor 2. This protein plays a role in inflammation and as a chemoattractant for neutrophils. Aberrant expression of this protein is associated with the growth and progression of certain tumors. A naturally occurring processed form of this protein has increased chemotactic activity. Alternate splicing results in coding and non-coding variants of this gene. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 4. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014]
Uniprot Description
CXCL1: 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. Belongs to the intercrine alpha (chemokine CxC) family.
