Human CXCL14 PicoKine ELISA Kit
Background: Chemokine(C-X-C motif) ligand 14(CXCL14) is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family that is also known as BRAK(for breast and kidney-expressed chemokine). This gene is mapped to 5q31.1. CXCL14 is constitutively expressed at high levels in many normal tissues, it has been found that fibroblasts are the primary source of CXCL14 and that CXCL14 is involved in the homeostasis of monocyte-derived macrophages rather than in inflammation. It is also a potent chemoattractant and activator of dendritic cells, is implicated in homing of these cells, and can stimulate the migration of activated NK cells. CXCL14 also inhibits angiogenesis, possibly as a result of its ability to block endothelial cell chemotaxis. In addition to it, CXCL14 is a potent chemokine for immature DCs, with a chemoattractive activity comparable to bacterial fMLP and MIP1A.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This antimicrobial gene belongs to the cytokine gene family which encode secreted proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The protein encoded by this gene is structurally related to the CXC (Cys-X-Cys) subfamily of cytokines. Members of this subfamily are characterized by two cysteines separated by a single amino acid. This cytokine displays chemotactic activity for monocytes but not for lymphocytes, dendritic cells, neutrophils or macrophages. It has been implicated that this cytokine is involved in the homeostasis of monocyte-derived macrophages rather than in inflammation. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014]
Uniprot Description
CXCL14: Potent chemoattractant for neutrophils, and weaker for dendritic cells. Not chemotactic for T-cells, B-cells, monocytes, natural killer cells or granulocytes. Does not inhibit proliferation of myeloid progenitors in colony formation assays. Belongs to the intercrine alpha (chemokine CxC) family.

Product Notes
The Human CXCL14 cxcl14 (Catalog #AAA177265) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA177265 ELISA Kit recognizes Human CXCL14. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "CXCL14, ELISA Kit" 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
