Product Overview
Tag | N/A |
Host Species | Human |
Accession | P02778 |
Synonym | CXCL10, C-X-C motif chemokine 10, 10 kDa interferon gamma-induced protein, Gamma-IP10, Small-inducible cytokine B10, IP10 |
Background | IP-10 shows homology to PF-4 (platelet factor-4) and belongs to the family of chemotactic cytokines known as chemokines. The receptor for IP-10 is CXCR3. IP-10 has been shown to bind to the virus-encoded viroceptor M3. The expression of IP-10 from a variety of cells, including monocytes, endothelial cells, keratinocytes, and fibroblasts, is induced by IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha. Human neutrophils produce IP-10 in response to IFN- gamma in combination with either TNF-alpha or bacterial lipopolysaccharides. IP-10 probably also plays a role in regulation of the growth of immature hematopoietic progenitor cells. It has been shown to suppress in vitro colony formation of highly enriched cells expressing the cell surface marker CD34 in the presence of SCF, GM-CSF, or SCF and EPO, but not in their absence with the exception of SCF. |

Target Details
Target Function | Pro-inflammatory cytokine that is involved in a wide variety of processes such as chemotaxis, differentiation, and activation of peripheral immune cells, regulation of cell growth, apoptosis and modulation of angiostatic effects. Plays thereby an important role during viral infections by stimulating the activation and migration of immune cells to the infected sites. Mechanistically, binding of CXCL10 to the CXCR3 receptor activates G protein-mediated signaling and results in downstream activation of phospholipase C-dependent pathway, an increase in intracellular calcium production and actin reorganization. In turn, recruitment of activated Th1 lymphocytes occurs at sites of inflammation. Activation of the CXCL10/CXCR3 axis plays also an important role in neurons in response to brain injury for activating microglia, the resident macrophage population of the central nervous system, and directing them to the lesion site. This recruitment is an essential element for neuronal reorganization. |
