Background
Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-2 (MIP-2), also called macrophage inflammatory protein 2-alpha (MIP2-alpha), Growth-regulated protein beta (Gro-beta) and Gro oncogene-2 (Gro-2), chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 2 (CXCL2), is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family. Mouse MIP-2 is synthesized as a 100 amino acid (aa) precursor protein containing a 27 aa signal peptide and a 73 aa mature polypeptide. Mouse MIP-2 shares approximately 63% sequence identity to mouse KC, another member of mouse CXC chemokines. Both mouse KC and MIP-2 bind mouse IL-8 Rβ with high affinity. Mouse MIP-2 also exhibits 60% sequence identity to human MIP-2. MIP-2 is secreted by monocytes and macrophages and plays a chemotactic role in polymorphonuclear leukocytes and hematopoietic stem cells. It has been suggested that the mouse KC and MIP-2 are functional homologs of human IL-8 in mice.
