The CXCL12 protein, also known as SDF1, is a stromal cell-derived alpha chemokine member of the intercrine family. CXCL12 functions as the ligand for the G-protein coupled receptor, chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 4 (CXCR4) and CXCR7, and plays a role in many diverse cellular functions, including embryogenesis, immune surveillance, inflammation response, tissue homeostasis, and tumor growth and metastasis (reviewed in 1). Mutations in this gene are associated with resistance to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infections (2).1) Timotijevic G, Mostarica Stojkovic M, and Miljkovic D.
