A cDNA encoding a novel chicken chemokine homologous to mammalian chemokine macrophage inflammatory protein 1 beta (MIP-1 beta) was isolated and characterised. The cDNA encodes a protein which is 75-80% homologous to human and mouse MIP-1 beta. All conserved amino acids characteristic of the mammalian chemokine family have been evolutionarily preserved in chicken MIP-1 beta, suggesting similar protein folding patterns and functional properties.
分离并鉴定了一种与哺乳动物趋化因子巨噬细胞炎性蛋白1β(MIP-1β)同源的新型鸡趋化因子的cDNA。该cDNA编码的蛋白质与人和小鼠的MIP-1β具有75%-80%的同源性。哺乳动物趋化因子家族所有保守的氨基酸特征在鸡MIP-1β中都得到了进化上的保留,这表明它们具有相似的蛋白质折叠模式和功能特性。
