BMAC BRAK KEC KS1 MGC10687 MIP-2g MIP2G NJAC SCYB14
Gene Full Name
Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 14
Gene Summary
CXCL14 belongs to the cytokine family which encode secreted proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The protein encoded by this gene is structurally related to the CXC (Cys-X-Cys) subfamily of cytokines. Members of this subfamily are characterized by two cysteines separated by a single amino acid. This cytokine displays chemotactic activity for monocytes but not for lymphocytes, dendritic cells, neutrophils or macrophages. It has been implicated that this cytokine is involved in the homeostasis of monocyte-derived macrophages rather than in inflammation.
