Background
Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 6 (CXCL6), also known as Chemokine alpha 3 (CKA-3), granulocyte chemotactic protein 2 (GCP-2), or small-inducible cytokine B6, is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family. Human CXCL6 shares 60% sequence identity with mouse CXCL6. Three N-terminally truncated isoforms of human CXCL6 have been isolated, and show no significant variation in activity from the mature protein, while N-terminally truncated forms of mouse CXCL6 are more active than the mature form, and are more active than human CXCL6. CXC chemokine receptor 1 (CXCR1) and CXCR2, expressed on neutrophils, but not on T- or B-lymphocytes, are the receptors for CXCL6 binding and activation. CXCL6 promotes neutrophil migration and activation both in vitro and in vivo. CXCL6 may contribute to sepsis-associated tissue damage, hypersensitivity reactions, autoimmune conditions, and tumor invasion.
