C-X-C motif chemokine 6 (CXCL6)

Chemotactic for neutrophil granulocytes. Signals through binding and activation of its receptors (CXCR1 and CXCR2).

Besides its chemotactic and angiogenic properties, it has strong antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram- negative bacteria (90-fold-higher when compared to CXCL5 and CXCL7). .
