Abstract
Chemerin is a potent chemoattractant for cells expressing the GPCR CMKLR1, and is thought to play important roles in cell migration and recruitment to sites of tissue damage and inflammation. Here we report the NMR assignments of the 15.6 kDa active form of uniformly 15N, 13C labeled chemerin.
