C-X-C motif chemokine 6 (GCP-2)

Target (abbrv.) GCP-2
Target (full name) C-X-C motif chemokine 6
Somalogic ID (Sequence ID) SL003172 (3495-15_2)
Entrez Gene Symbol CXCL6
UniProt ID P80162
UniProt Comment
  • Chemotactic for neutrophil granulocytes. Signals through binding and activation of its receptors (CXCR1 and CXCR2). In addition to its chemotactic and angiogenic properties, it has strong antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (90-fold-higher when compared to CXCL5 and CXCL7).
Biomarker applications (based on IPA annotation)
  • unspecified application
Reactome
  • Chemokine receptors bind chemokines
  • G alpha (i) signalling events
Pathway Studio
  • IL8R → CREB/EGR signaling

All locus annotations are based on the sentinel SNP (rs16850073) and 1 proxy variant(s) that is/are in linkage disequilibrium r2 ≥ 0.8. Linkage disequilibrium is based on data from the 1000 Genomes Project, phase 3 version 5, European population and was retrieved using SNiPA's Block Annotation feature.
