Abstract

CXC chemokines are known to bind to their receptors on neutrophils and activate them through the N-terminal ELR box. In this study, we show that the C-terminal alpha helix of human MGSA does bind to neutrophils, but contrary to complete MGSA, is unable to promote enzyme release by neutrophils. These results raise the possibility of MGSA being a multi-functional molecule with various domains of activation.
