CXCL5 (epithelial neutrophil-activating peptide-78) is a member of a proangiogenic subgroup of the CXC-type chemokine family of small, secreted proteins. Human CXCL5 shares 57% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat CXCL5. Full length CXCL5 (78 aa) is trimmed at the N-terminus by cathepsin G and chymotrypsin to ENA-74 (74 aa) and ENA-70 (70 aa), with the shortened forms showing increased potency relative to full length CXCL5. CXCL5 which acts as a potent chemoattractant and activator of neutrophil function was reported to play a multifaceted role in tumorigenesis. CXCL5 targeted therapy would prevent not only the development of type II diabetes in obese subjects, but also several other obesity-related co morbidities.
