Product details:
Mouse CXCL1 ELISA Kit (GRO alpha) ab216951 is a rapid single-wash 90-min Sandwich ELISA to measure Mouse CXCL1 (GRO alpha)in . This SimpleStep sensitivity is 0.66 pg/mL.
How the assay works
Mouse CXCL1 (GRO alpha)SimpleStep ELISA
employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA
plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA
protocol summary in the image section for further details.
Assay Specificity
Our SimpleStep ELISA
kits use recombinant monoclonal antibodies rigorously validated to ensure the highest level of consistency and reproducibility, improved sensitivity and specificity and ease of scalability and security of supply.
Please refer to our protocol booklet for more details.

CXCL1 is a member of the CXC family of chemokines. Chemokines play roles in normal and pathological processes including allergic responses, angiogenesis, inflammation, tumor growth and metastasis. Mouse CXCL2 and CXCL3 share 67% and 60% sequence homology with mouse CXCL1, respectively. Additionally, Rat CXCL1 is 89% homologous with mouse CXCL1.

CXCL1 also known as GRO alpha or KC in certain species is a chemokine with a molecular mass of around 7.8 kDa. This protein is primarily secreted by macrophages neutrophils and endothelial cells. It plays a critical role in the recruitment of neutrophils during inflammation and acts by binding to the CXCR2 receptor. CXCL1 is expressed in many tissues including lungs liver and skin where it regulates the immune response and facilitates tissue repair.
Biological function summary
CXCL1 functions as a significant mediator in inflammatory processes. It does not form a complex but acts independently to exert its effects. By attracting neutrophils to sites of injury or infection CXCL1 supports the body's defense mechanisms. This chemokine also influences angiogenesis contributing to the formation of new blood vessels which is essential in wound healing and tissue regeneration.
Pathways
CXCL1 plays a role in both the NF-kB signaling and MAPK signaling pathways. These pathways are pivotal for the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses. CXCL1 acts alongside proteins such as IL-8 another chemokine that also binds to the CXCR2 receptor. Through these pathways CXCL1 influences the activation and migration of immune cells facilitating a rapid response to inflammatory stimuli.
CXCL1 has a significant association with conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and rheumatoid arthritis. In COPD elevated levels of CXCL1 contribute to persistent inflammation and neutrophil infiltration. In rheumatoid arthritis CXCL1 participates in joint inflammation and damage interacting with proteins like TNF-alpha which amplifies inflammatory responses. Understanding the role of CXCL1 in these conditions could help guide the development of targeted therapies to mitigate inflammation and tissue damage.
