Our Human CXCL7 ELISA Kit is a sandwich ELISA intended for the quantitative determination of human CXCL7 in cell culture supernates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA).
Chemokine(C-X-C motif) ligand 7(CXCL7), also called PPBP or SCYB7, is a human gene. The encoded protein, Chemokine(C-X-C motif) ligand is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family. CXCL7 is mapped to 4q13.3. It is a protein that is released in large amounts from platelets following their activation. CXCL7 is the precursor of the 2 platelet alpha-granule proteins, platelet basic protein(PBP) and connective tissue-activating peptide III(CTAP3). It stimulates various processes including mitogenesis, synthesis of extracellular matrix, glucose metabolism and synthesis of plasminogen activator. It also stimulates the formation and secretion of plasminogen activator by synovial cells.
