GCP-2: The CXC Chemokine in Neutrophil and Repair Research

GCP-2 (Granulocyte Chemotactic Peptide-2) is a small signaling peptide of the CXC chemokine family, studied primarily for its role in directing neutrophil migration to sites of inflammation or injury — a focal point of immune-trafficking and tissue-repair research.

What is GCP-2?

GCP-2 belongs to the CXC chemokine class of signaling proteins that govern immune-cell trafficking. Its defining property is potent chemotaxis of neutrophils — it binds specific receptors on the neutrophil surface and triggers directed migration toward chemical gradients.

Research areas

• Neutrophil recruitment: mapping the receptor pathways that drive first-responder immune-cell migration.
• Wound-healing models: studying neutrophil recruitment’s role in debris clearance and the initiation of tissue repair.
• Inflammation research: understanding GCP-2 signaling in inflammatory-condition models.
• Tumor-microenvironment research: exploratory work on chemokine involvement in disease progression.

Handling & safety for research labs

• Not authorized by Health Canada for human use — laboratory research only.
• Wear appropriate PPE (gloves, lab coat, eye protection); handle in a well-ventilated area.
• Store lyophilized at −20°C; reconstitute with sterile bacteriostatic water; dispose of waste per local regulations.
• Source from reputable suppliers providing third-party purity testing and a COA.
