GlossaryCXCL2 (MIP-2)

small signaling protein that attracts immune cells to inflammation

CXCL2, also known as Macrophage Inflammatory Protein 2 (MIP-2), is a type of chemokine—a small signaling protein involved in the immune response. It plays a crucial role in attracting neutrophils, a type of white blood cell, to sites of inflammation or injury, thereby aiding in the body's defense mechanisms.
