CXCL14/BRAK (breast and kidney-expressed chemokine), also named MIP-2 gamma, KEC (kidney-expressed chemokine), and BMAC (B cell and monocyte-activating chemokine), is a member of CXC chemokine superfamily (1 - 5). The deduced 99 amino acid (aa) residue precursor has a 22 aa putative signal peptide that is cleaved to produce the 77 aa mature protein. Mature human and mouse CXCL14 differ by only 2 residues. Human CXCL14 shares approximately 30% aa sequence identity with MIP-2 alpha (GRO beta ) as well as MIP-2 beta (GRO gamma ). The gene for CXCL14 has been mapped human chromosome 5q31. Unlike the MIP-2 chemokines, CXCL14 lacks the ELR domain preceding the CXC motif. CXCL14 transcripts are constitutively expressed at high levels in the basal layer of epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts of skin tissues as well as lamina propria cells in normal intestinal tissues. CXCL14 has been shown to be a highly selective chemoattractant for monocytes that have been treated with prostaglandin E2 or forskolin, agents that activate adenylate cyclase. CXCL14 has been proposed to be important for regulating the trafficking of macrophage precursor to regions in skin and mucosal tissues that support their development. Consistent with this hypothesis, macrophages were frequently found to co-localize with CXCL14-producing cells in the dermis and lamina propria.

Human CXCL14 / BRAK ELISA Standard Curve
Recombinant Human CXCL14/BRAK (Catalog # 866-CX) was serially diluted and captured by Mouse Anti-Human CXCL14/BRAK Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB866) coated on a Clear Polystyrene Microplate (Catalog # DY990). Mouse Anti-Human CXCL14/BRAK Biotinylated Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # ) was incubated with the protein captured on the plate. Detection of the standard curve was achieved by incubating Streptavidin-HRP (Catalog # DY998)Detection of CXCL14/BRAK by Western Blot
Glioblastoma cells stably overexpressing CXCL14 show enhanced proliferation and migration. (A) qRT-PCR analysis of CXCL14 mRNA expression in U87MG (upper panel) or LN229 (lower panel) cells transfected with either the empty vector pcDNA3.1/V5-HisC (pcDNA), or the CXCL14-expressing vector pCXCL14-V5. In both panels, data are expressed as compared to empty vector-transfected cells, where CXCL14 expression was set as = 1. (B) Western blot analysis showing CXCL14 protein expression in U87MG (upper panel) or LN229 (lower panel) cells transfected with either the empty vector pcDNA3.1/V5-His C, or the CXCL14-expressing vector pCXCL14-V5. In the immunoblots shown on the left, ectopic CXCL14 was revealed by using an anti-V5 antibody, while on the right a CXCL14-specific antibody was used. beta -actin detection was used as a loading control. (C) Proliferation (MTS assay) of U87MG (left) or LN229 (right) cells stably transfected with either the empty vector pcDNA3.1/V5-His C, or the CXCL14-expressing vector pCXCL14-V5. Results are shown as the mean ± S.D. and represent the average of two experiments performed in triplicate. Data were analyzed by a two-tailed unpaired Student’s t-test. * p < 0.05 ** p < 0.01. (D) Boyden chamber migration assay performed with U87MG cells stably transfected with either the empty vector pcDNA3.1/V5-HisC (pcDNA), or the CXCL14-expressing vector pCXCL14-V5. The graph depicts the relative migration of CXCL14-expressing cells compared to empty vector transfected ones, whose migration ability was set as = 1. Results are presented as mean ± S.D. with significant differences from controls (*) shown (p < 0.05).
