  • Title: Cloning of a full-length cDNA encoding the neutrophil-activating peptide ENA-78 from human platelets.
    Author: Power CA, Furness RB, Brawand C, Wells TN.
    Journal: Gene; 1994 Dec 30; 151(1-2):333-4. PubMed ID: 7828901.
    Abstract:
    Here we describe the cloning of a full-length cDNA encoding a neutrophil chemoattractant peptide, ENA-78, from human platelets. The cDNA encodes a predicted sequence of 114 amino acids and contains the Cys motif C-X-C found in other members of the alpha-chemokine family which also includes interleukin 8 (IL-8). ENA-78 has a high degree of sequence identity with other platelet-derived chemokines which also share overlapping chemotactic activities such as GRO alpha and the neurophil-activating peptide 2 (NAP-2; derived by proteolytic cleavage of the connective-tissue-activating peptide III (CTAP-III)).
