InnateDB Annotation
Summary
CXCL2 is a chemokine secreted by kidney dendritic cells to recruit neutrophils to sites of uropathogenic bacterial infection. (Demonstrated in mouse)
Secreted CCNA2 (CCN1) promotes anti-inflammatory cytokine IL10 release from epithelial cells via integrin αVβ6-PKC, and this subsequently suppresses TNF, CXCL2 and neutrophil infiltration in the lungs.
InnateDB Annotation from Orthologs
Summary
[Mus musculus] Defb1 is important for the control of early mucosal Candida infection and plays a critical role in the induction of innate inflammatory mediators including, Il1b, Il6, Cxcl1, Il17a, and Il17f.
Entrez Gene
Summary This antimicrobial gene is part of a chemokine superfamily that encodes secreted proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The superfamily is divided into four subfamilies based on the arrangement of the N-terminal cysteine residues of the mature peptide. This chemokine, a member of the CXC subfamily, is expressed at sites of inflammation and may suppress hematopoietic progenitor cell proliferation. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014]
