Alternate Names: MIP-2beta, CXCL3, GRO3

Growth Regulated Proteins (GRO) are a group of three proteins, GRO-alpha, -beta and -gamma, that are encoded by three distinct genes. All 3 GRO proteins can bind to the same receptors, but with differing affinities, and stimulate a number of biological response including chemotaxis,angiogenesis, and growth regulation. More specifically, GRO-gamma (also called CXCL3) can act through chemokine receptor CXCR2 to promote monocyte migration and adhesion. Recombinant human GRO-gamma is a non-glycosylated protein, containing 73 amino acids and having a molecular weight of 7.9 kDa.
