Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the CXC chemokine family and is a major mediator of the inflammatory response. The encoded protein is secreted primarily by neutrophils, where it serves as a chemotactic factor by guiding the neutrophils to the site of infection. This chemokine is also a potent angiogenic factor. This gene is believed to play a role in the pathogenesis of bronchiolitis, a common respiratory tract disease caused by viral infection. This gene and other members of the CXC chemokine gene family form a gene cluster in a region of chromosome 4q. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

Protein Information
 
Protein Name
Interleukin-8, T-cell chemotactic factor, alveolar macrophage chemotactic factor I, beta endothelial cell-derived neutrophil activating peptide, beta-thromboglobulin-like protein, chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 8, emoctakin, granulocyte chemotactic protein 1, interleukin 8, lung giant cell carcinoma-derived chemotactic protein, lymphocyte derived neutrophil activating peptide, monocyte-derived neutrophil chemotactic factor, monocyte-derived neutrophil-activating peptide, neutrophil-activating peptide 1, small inducible cytokine subfamily B, member 8, tumor necrosis factor-induced gene 1
 
Function
IL-8 is a chemotactic factor that attracts neutrophils, basophils, and T-cells, but not monocytes. It is also involved in neutrophil activation. It is released from several cell types in response to an inflammatory stimulus. IL-8(6-77) has a 5-10-fold higher activity on neutrophil activation, IL-8(5-77) has increased activity on neutrophil activation and IL-8(7-77) has a higher affinity to receptors CXCR1 and CXCR2 as compared to IL-8(1-77), respectively.

76 serum samples was collected from patients who underwent first GnRH antagonist protocol In Vitro Fertilization/ Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (IVF/ICSI) [non-PCOS and PCOS patients] 
Elevated IL-18 expression and downregulation of GAS5 in serums might contribute to IR in PCOS patients.

Our study provides the first evidence of the pathophysiologic contribution of the well-known angiostatic protein, PF4, on human reproductive biology. The increase of the intrafollicular PF4 and its anti-permeability effect might affect the formation of FF and folliculogenesis in PCOS.
