Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Inhibits hemopoiesis and stimulates chemotaxis. Chemotactic in vitro for thymocytes and activated T-cells, but not for B-cells, macrophages, or neutrophils. Potent mesangial cell chemoattractant. Shows preferential activity towards naive T- cells. May play a role in mediating homing of lymphocytes to secondary lymphoid organs.

Subcellular Localization

Secreted.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Expressed strongly in lung, spleen, thymus, peripheral and mesentric lymph nodes. Also expressed in the testis, kidney, liver, and heart.
