SYNONYMS
C-X-C motif chemokine 9, CMK, crg-10, Humig, MIG, SCYB9, Gamma-interferon-induced monokine, Monokine induced by interferon-gamma, HuMIG, Small-inducible cytokine B9, CXCL9.
INTRODUCTION
MIG (CXCL9) is a small cytokine which is part of the CXC chemokine family. MIG, which is also recognized as monokine is induced by gamma interferon. MIG is related to 2 other CXC chemokines named CXCL10 and CXCL11, whose genes are located next to the gene for CXCL9 on human chromosome 4. CXCL9, CXCL10 and CXCL11 obtain their chemotactic functions by interacting with the chemokine receptor CXCR3.
DESCRIPTION
MIG Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 126 amino acids (23-125 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 14kDa.
MIG is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
