NCIt definition : Interleukin-8 (99 aa, 11 kDa) is encoded by the human CXCL8 gene. This protein is
involved in chemotaxis and neutrophil activation.;
NCIt note : Interleukin-8 is cleaved into the following seven chains: MDNCF-a (GCP/IL-8 protein
IV, IL8/NAP1 form I), Interleukin-8 ((Ala-IL-8)77, GCP/IL-8 protein II, IL-8(1-77),
IL8/NAP1 form II, MDNCF-b), IL-8(5-77), IL-8(6-77) ((Ser-IL-8)72, GCP/IL-8 protein
I, IL8/NAP1 form III, lymphocyte-derived neutrophil-activating factor, LYNAP, MDNCF-c,
neutrophil-activating factor, NAF), IL-8(7-77) (GCP/IL-8 protein V, IL8/NAP1 form
IV), IL-8(8-77) (GCP/IL-8 protein VI, IL8/NAP1 form V), and IL-8(9-77) (GCP/IL-8 protein
III; IL8/NAP1 form VI). (UniProt);
