Hintergrund: CXCL12β is constitutively expressed by stromal cells. SDF-1α (89 amino acids) and SDF-1β (93 amino acids) are derived from the CXCL12 gene by alternative splicing. They have identical amino acid sequences, differing only by the addition of four amino acids at the carboxy-terminus of the β form. CXCL12α and β are ubiquitously expressed, and it has been suggested that their activity is regulated through differential proteolytic processing. Proteases present in serum process CXCL12α initially at the carboxy-terminus (through carboxypeptidase N) and subsubsequently at the amino-terminus (through CD26), while CXCL12β is only processed at the animo-terminus. These proteolytic processes affect the chemokine's properties to bind to heparin and cells, and stimulate proliferation and chemotaxis. CXCL12α is inactivated by other enzymes such as metalloproteinases, serine proteases, and leukocyte elastase. CXCL12/CXCR4 pair plays a key role in maintaining proliferation and survival of bone marrow stem cell subpopulations under stress conditions. Also, CXCL12 is highly expressed in bone marrow stromal stem cells and regulates growth and survival. CXCL12 promotes survival by inducing anti-apoptotic proteins and decreasing apoptotic proteins, and increasing transcription of cell survival genes. Data suggests that CXCL12β mediates cells' survival by enhancing autophagy in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.

Molekulargewicht: The 74 amino acid recombinant protein has a predicted molecular mass of approximately 8.8 kDa. The DTT-reduced and non-reduced protein migrate at approximately 13 and 15 kDa by SDS-PAGE respectively. The N-terminal amino acid is Ser.
