Rabbit Anti-SDF1 beta/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
This gene encodes a stromal cell-derived alpha chemokine member of the intercrine family. The encoded protein functions as the ligand for the G-protein coupled receptor, chemokine (SLCX-C motif) receptor 4, and plays a role in many diverse cellular functions, including embryogenesis, immune surveillance, inflammation response, tissue homeostasis, and tumor growth and metastasis. Mutations in this gene are associated with resistance to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infections. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function:
Chemoattractant active on T-lymphocytes, monocytes, but not neutrophils. Activates the SLCX-C chemokine receptor CXCR4 to induce a rapid and transient rise in the level of intracellular calcium ions and chemotaxis. Also binds to another SLCX-C chemokine receptor CXCR7, which activates the beta-arrestin pathway and acts as a scavenger receptor for SDF-1. SDF-1-beta(3-72) and SDF-1-alpha(3-67) show a reduced chemotactic activity. Binding to cell surface proteoglycans seems to inhibit formation of SDF-1-alpha(3-67) and thus to preserve activity on local sites. Acts as a positive regulator of monocyte migration and a negative regulator of monocyte adhesion via the LYN kinase. Stimulates migration of monocytes and T-lymphocytes through its receptors, CXCR4 and CXCR7, and decreases monocyte adherence to surfaces coated with ICAM-1, a ligand for beta-2 integrins. SDF1A/CXCR4 signaling axis inhibits beta-2 integrin LFA-1 mediated adhesion of monocytes to ICAM-1 through LYN kinase. Inhibits CXCR4-mediated infection by T-cell line-adapted HISLV1. Plays a protective role after myocardial infarction. Induces down-regulation and internalization of CXCR7 expressed in various cells.
Subunit:
Monomer or homodimer; in equilibrium. Dimer formation is induced by non acidic pH and the presence of multivalent anions, and by binding to CXCR4 or heparin. Monomeric form is required for full chemotactic activity and resistance to ischemia/reperfusion injury, whereas the dimeric form acts as a partial agonist of CXCR4, stimulating Ca2+ mobilization but with no chemotactic activity and instead acts as a selective antagonist that blocks chemotaxis induced by the monomeric form. Interacts with the N-terminus of CXCR7.
Subcellular Location:
Secreted.
Tissue Specificity:
Isoform Alpha and isoform Beta are ubiquitously expressed, with highest levels detected in liver, pancreas and spleen. Isoform Gamma is mainly expressed in heart, with weak expression detected in several other tissues. Isoform Delta, isoform Epsilon and isoform Theta have highest expression levels in pancreas, with lower levels detected in heart, kidney, liver and spleen.
Post-translational modifications:
Processed forms SDF-1-beta(3-72) and SDF-1-alpha(3-67) are produced after secretion by proteolytic cleavage of isoforms Beta and Alpha, respectively. The N-terminal processing is probably achieved by DPP4. Isoform Alpha is first cleaved at the SLCterminus to yield a SDF-1-alpha(1-67) intermediate before being processed at the N-terminus. The SLCterminal processing of isoform Alpha is reduced by binding to heparin and, probably, cell surface proteoglycans.
Similarity:
Belongs to the intercrine alpha (chemokine CxC) family.

基质细胞衍生因子-1(SDF-1)又称趋化因子CXCL12 是小分子的细胞因子,属于趋化因子蛋白家族。它有两种形式, SDF-1α/CXCL12a和SDF-1β/CXCL12b。趋化因子有四个保守的半胱氨酸残基形成两对双硫键以构成趋化因子的特殊结构。第一第二半胱氨酸残基之间隔着一个介入氨基酸残基。
基质细胞源性生长因子1:趋化因子CXCL12对淋巴细胞有强烈的趋化作用并在发育中起重要作用。在胚胎发育中CXCL12引导造血干细胞从胎儿肝脏到骨髓的迁徙。 CXCL12可以在许多组织(包括脑,胸腺,心,肺,肝,肾,骨髓,脾脏)中表达。
趋化因子CXCL12的受体是CXCR4。但是,最近有人认为CXCL12还可以与CXCR7受体结合。
