Cxcl2 - C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 2

Enables chemokine activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to interleukin-1; cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; and neutrophil chemotaxis. Located in extracellular space. Biomarker of several diseases, including acute necrotizing pancreatitis; bile duct disease (multiple); brain edema; pleurisy; and pneumonia (multiple). Orthologous to human CXCL2 (C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
