Biochem/physiol Actions

Interleukin-8 (IL-8) was formerly called monocyte-derived neutrophil chemotactic factor. It belongs to the chemokine α or C-X-C family. Like other members of this family, the mature form of IL-8 has four cysteine residues and the first two cysteine residues are separated by glutamine. IL-8 shows chemotactic activity in vitro for T cells, neutrophils and basophils. Mutation in IL-8 can increase risk to acute pancreatitis.

Interleukin-8 (IL-8), formerly called monocyte-derived neutrophil chemotactic factor, belongs to the chemokine α or C-X-C family. The mature form of IL-8 has 4 cysteine residues, as do the other members of the chemokine family and the first two cysteine residues are separated by glutamine. Mature human IL-8 consists of 72 amino acids with a molecular mass of 8.9 kDa. IL-8 exhibits chemotactic activity in vitro for T cells, basophils, as measured by enzymes including myeloperoxidase, α-mannosidase and β-glucuronidase. IL-8 is an angiogenic factor.
