products description :
Background/Introduction: This Quantitative Sandwich ELISA kit is only for in vitro research use only, not for drug, household, therapeutic or diagnostic applications! This kit is intended to be used for determination the level of PF4 (hereafter termed "analyte") in undiluted original Canine body fluids, tissue homogenates, secretions or feces samples. This kit is NOT suitable for assaying non-biological sources of substances.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a member of the CXC chemokine family. This chemokine is released from the alpha granules of activated platelets in the form of a homotetramer which has high affinity for heparin and is involved in platelet aggregation. This protein is chemotactic for numerous other cell type and also functions as an inhibitor of hematopoiesis, angiogenesis and T-cell function. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]
uniprot summary :
PF4: Released during platelet aggregation. Neutralizes the anticoagulant effect of heparin because it binds more strongly to heparin than to the chondroitin-4-sulfate chains of the carrier molecule. Chemotactic for neutrophils and monocytes. Inhibits endothelial cell proliferation, the short form is a more potent inhibitor than the longer form. Belongs to the intercrine alpha (chemokine CxC) family. Protein type: Motility/polarity/chemotaxis; Secreted, signal peptide; Apoptosis; Secreted; Chemokine. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 4q12-q21. Cellular Component: extracellular space; extracellular region. Molecular Function: heparin binding; CXCR3 chemokine receptor binding; chemokine activity. Biological Process: negative regulation of cytolysis; platelet activation; leukocyte chemotaxis; cytokine and chemokine mediated signaling pathway; response to lipopolysaccharide; positive regulation of leukocyte chemotaxis; positive regulation of cAMP metabolic process; positive regulation of tumor necrosis factor production; negative regulation of megakaryocyte differentiation; regulation of cell proliferation; G-protein coupled receptor protein signaling pathway; negative regulation of angiogenesis; platelet degranulation; negative regulation of MHC class II biosynthetic process; immune response; positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; blood coagulation; positive regulation of macrophage differentiation; inflammatory response
