Description
MW: 37,000****Azurocidin is highly glycosylated, which causes the protein to show a lower molecular weight by SDS-PAGE than that stated of 37kDa.The gene for azurocidin is located on the short arm of chromosome 19 and is in a cluster with the genes for proteinase 3 and elastase. All three proteins are serine protease homologues; azurocidin, however, lacks enzymatic activity. The importance of azurocidin is its role as a multifunctional inflammatory mediator. It has antimicrobial activity, binds endotoxin and is chemotactic for monocytes. Product Citation:Zimmer M, Medcalf RL, Fink TM, Mattman C, Lichter P, and Jenne DE. 1992. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.
