Product details:
The Human CXCL14 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) kit (ab213771) is designed for the quantitative measurement of Human CXCL14 in cell culture supernatants, cell lysates and plasma (heparin, EDTA).
The ELISA kit is based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from mouse specific for CXCL14 has been pre-coated onto 96-well plates. Standards (Expression system for standard:
E.coli
; Immunogen sequence: S35-E111) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for CXCL14 is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex is added and unbound conjugates are washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB is used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB is catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the Human CXCL14 amount of sample captured in plate.
Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 14 (CXCL14) is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family that is also known as BRAK (for breast and kidney-expressed chemokine). This gene is mapped to 5q31.1. CXCL14 is constitutively expressed at high levels in many normal tissues; it has been found that fibroblasts are the primary source of CXCL14 and that CXCL14 is involved in the homeostasis of monocyte-derived macrophages rather than in inflammation. It is also a potent chemoattractant and activator of dendritic cells, is implicated in homing of these cells, and can stimulate the migration of activated NK cells. CXCL14 also inhibits angiogenesis, possibly as a result of its ability to block endothelial cell chemotaxis. In addition to it, CXCL14 is a potent chemokine for immature DCs, with a chemoattractive activity comparable to bacterial fMLP and MIP1A.

The CXCL14 protein also known as BRAK is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family. It has a molecular mass of 8.9 kDa and is expressed in various tissues with high levels in the kidney lung skin and reproductive tissues. It does not normally circulate in the blood but rather acts in tissues. The protein plays a role in immune system regulation by being involved in the migration of immune cells.
Biological function summary
CXCL14 influences cell signaling pathways that regulate immune responses and tissue homeostasis. It engages in the attraction of immune cells like monocytes and dendritic cells to specific tissues. While CXCL14 is not part of a larger complex its function in modulating local immune environments is significant. This protein’s role in immune surveillance contributes to both normal physiological conditions and response to pathology.
Pathways
Interactions of CXCL14 involve key signaling cascades. The protein is part of pathways that regulate inflammation and cell movement including the MAPK and PI3K signaling pathways. Related proteins such as CXCR4 and CCR2 interact within these pathways to coordinate cell signaling and chemotaxis. These interactions facilitate communication between cells and regulate responses essential for maintaining tissue integrity.
CXCL14 links with conditions like cancer and obesity. Studies suggest that CXCL14 may play a dual role in cancer acting as a tumor suppressor in certain contexts by influencing immune cell infiltration into tumors. In obesity altered expression patterns of CXCL14 have been observed highlighting potential roles in adipose tissue regulation. Proteins like CXCR4 are also connected with CXCL14 in these disease contexts suggesting complex interdependencies within the cellular communication network.
