Lymphotactin Rat

Source: Escherichia Coli.Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.XCL1 is a small cytokine belongs to the XC chemokine family that is also known as lymphotactin. XCL1 is found in high levels in spleen, thymus, intestine and peripheral blood leukocytes, and at lower levels in lung, prostate gland and ovary. Cellular Source: s for XCL1 include activated thymic and peripheral blood CD8+ T cells. This chemokine attracts T cells. In humans, XCL1 is closely related to XCL2, whose gene is found at the same locus on chromosome 1. XCL1 induces it chemotactic function by binding to a chemokine receptor called XCR1.Lymphotactin (XCL1) Rat Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 93 amino acids and having a molecular mass of approximately 10.0kDa.Lymphotactin is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Protein function: Chemotactic activity for lymphocytes but not for monocytes or neutrophils. In thymus, mediates medullary accumulation of thymic dendritic cells and contributes to regulatoy T cell development, playing a role in self-tolerance establishment. [The UniProt Consortium]
