Cotton rat growth-regulated protein (GRO) is a member of the ELR+ CXC subfamily of chemokines. The cotton rat GRO cDNA encodes a 100 amino acid (aa) precursor protein with a 27 aa putative signal peptide and a 73 aa mature protein.

The predicted amino acid sequence of the mouse KC gene product indicates KC is a member of the CXC subfamily of chemokines. The protein sequence of mouse KC shows approximately 63% identity to that of mouse MIP-2. In addition, the protein sequence of KC is approximately 60% identical to the human GROs. It has been suggested that mouse KC and MIP-2 are the homologs of the human GROs and rat CINCs. KC mRNA is expressed in macrophages, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts.

The rat chemokines CINC (cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant)-1, CINC-2 alpha, CINC-2 beta and CINC-3 constitute a group of rat CXC chemokines that show significant sequence similarity to human GROs and mouse MIP-2 and KC.
