MGSA belongs to the intercrine alpha (chemokine CXC) familly. In this family, the first two of the four conserved residues are separated by a single amino acid. MGSA has chemotactic activity for neutrophils and may play a role in inflammation. MGSA is secreted and subsequently proteolytically processed at the N-terminus by peripheral blood monocytes to form GRO-alpha(4-73), GRO-alpah(5-73) and GRO-alpha(6-73). In vitro, these processed forms show a 30 fold increase in chemotactic activity. The unprocessed precursor has a length of 107 amino acids and a predicted molecular weight of 11.3KDa.
WB detection of the antigen using mouse monoclonal antibody to recombinant human MGSA, catalogue number M-820-100. Note the GST tag alone has a molecular weight of 26KDa.
