Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 9 (CXCL9) is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family that is also known as Monokine induced by gamma interferon (MIG). CXCL9 is a T-cell chemoattractant, which is induced by IFN-?. It is closely related to two other CXC chemokines called CXCL10 and CXCL11, whose genes are located near the gene for CXCL9 on human chromosome 4. CXCL9, CXCL10 and CXCL11 all elicit their chemotactic functions by interacting with the chemokine receptor CXCR3.
MIG (monokine induced by gamma-interferon ) Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 103 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 11700 Dalton. The MIG is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
