    FAMILY
  • intercrine alpha family (small cytokine CXC)
  • CATEGORY secretory , signaling cytokine growth factor
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION extracellular
    basic FUNCTION
  • stimulating DNA synthesis, mitosis, glycolysis, intracellular cAMP accumulation, prostaglandin E2 secretion, synthesis of hyaluronic acid and sulfated glycosaminoglycan and the formation and secretion of plasminogen activator by human synovial cells
  • being a potent chemoattractant and activator for neutrophils
  • stimulates the priming of osteoclast progenitors for differentiation into osteoclasts (Nakao 2009)
  • has the potential to induce inflammatory responses within the atherosclerotic plaque (Smith 2006)
  • may be playing a role to limit platelet-activating factor -dependent vascular tissue damage by preventing degranulation of neutrophils without affecting their migration into the inflamed tissue (Schwartzkopff 2002)
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS coagulation/hemostasis

    INTERACTION

    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with IGF2 (has the ability to strongly stimulate osteoclastogenesis by regulating PPBP expression in stromal cells and SDF1 expression in osteoblastic cells) (Nakao 2009)
  • with PPBP may promote the formation of giant osteoclasts (Nakao 2009)
