Growth regulated protein alpha (GRO-a), also known as CXCL1, is a chemokine that has mitogenic properties and is a neutrophil chemoattractant. GRO-a is secreted by macrophages, epithelial cells, neutrophils, and melanomas. GRO-a signals through the CXCR2 chemokine receptor and is important during spinal cord formation, inflammation, angiogenesis, tumorigenesis, and wound healing.
