Target Information

Interleukin 8 (IL-8, CXCL8) is a 72 amino acid pro-inflammatory factor belonging to the CXC subfamily of chemokines. It binds to cell surface receptors IL-8RA and IL-8RB and functions as a chemoattractant and potent angiogenic factor.
IL-8 expression and secretion can be induced by diverse inflammatory stimuli in many cells, including macrophages and endothelial cells. In endothelial cells, IL-8 is stored in Weibel-Palade bodies.
IL-8 was first isolated from osteosarcoma cells and contains the ELR-motif (N-terminal Glu-Leu-Arg sequence), signaling through CXCR1 and CXCR2 receptors.
Previous nomenclature includes neutrophil activating protein 1 (NAP-1), granulocyte chemotactic protein 1 (GCP-1), monocyte-derived neutrophil-activating peptide (MONAP), and protein 3-10C.
IL-8 and ten other CXC chemokine genes form a cluster mapped to chromosome 4q.
Cancer studies indicate IL-8’s role in angiogenesis and tumor growth, and it is implicated in bronchiolitis pathogenesis.
