Macrophage Inflammatory protein-1 alpha Active Protein | rMIP 1a active protein
Recombinant Rat Macrophage Inflammatory protein-1 alpha (CCL3)
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Introduction: Macrophage Inflammatory Proteins (MIP) belong to the family of chemotactic cytokines known as chemokines. In humans, there are two major forms, MIP-1a and MIP-1b that are now officially named CCL3 and CCL4 respectively. Both are major factors produced by macrophages after they are stimulated with bacterial endotoxins. They activate human granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils) which can lead to acute neutrophilic inflammation. They also induce the synthesis and release of other pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin 1 (IL-1), IL-6 and TNF-a from fibroblasts and macrophages. The genes for CCL3 and CCL4 are both located on human chromosome 17.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
mediates monocyte and neutrophil chemotaxis; may play a role in the pathogenesis of acute lung injury [RGD, Feb 2006]
Uniprot Description
Monokine with inflammatory and chemokinetic properties. Has chemotactic activity for monocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, and lymphocytes. Required for lung TNF-alpha production, neutrophil recruitment and subsequent lung injury and may function as an autocrine mediator for the macrophage production of TNF-alpha which in turn up-regulates vascular adhesion molecules required for neutrophil influx. This protein binds heparin.

Product Notes
The rMIP 1a ccl3 (Catalog #AAA142050) is an Active Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The amino acid sequence is listed below: The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be, Ala-Pro-Ty r-Gly-Ala. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Macrophage Inflammatory protein-1 alpha, Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
