Abstract

Here we describe the cloning of a full-length cDNA encoding a neutrophil chemoattractant peptide, ENA-78, from human platelets. The cDNA encodes a predicted sequence of 114 amino acids and contains the Cys motif C-X-C found in other members of the alpha-chemokine family which also includes interleukin 8 (IL-8). ENA-78 has a high degree of sequence identity with other platelet-derived chemokines which also share overlapping chemotactic activities such as GRO alpha and the neurophil-activating peptide 2 (NAP-2; derived by proteolytic cleavage of the connective-tissue-activating peptide III (CTAP-III)).
