Stromal Cell Derived Factor 1alpha (SDF1 alpha, SDF1a, SDF-1a, Chemokine (C-X-C Motif) Ligand 12, CXCL12, hIRH, Pre-B cell Growth-stimulating Factor, PBSF, SCYB12, TLSF-a, TPAR1) (AP)

SDF-1 alpha, otherwise known as CXCL12a, a stromal cell derived CXC chemokine which, together with SDF-1 beta, arises from alternative splicing of the SDF-1 gene, and acts as a chemoattractant for T and B lymphocytes, monocytes and migratory neurons. SDF-1 binds with high-affinity to the G protein–coupled receptor CXCR4 (fusin), and acts as an inhibitor of the CXCR4-mediated entry of HIV-1 virus into target T-cells. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and...
