Cytoplasmic expression in several lymphoid tissues.
DATA RELIABILITY
Data reliability description
Antibody staining not consistent with RNA expression data. Secreted protein, tissue location of RNA and protein might differ and correlation is complex.
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the CXC chemokine family. This chemokine is one of the major mediators of the inflammatory response. This chemokine is secreted by several cell types. It functions as a chemoattractant, and is also a potent angiogenic factor. This gene is believed to play a role in the pathogenesis of bronchiolitis, a common respiratory tract disease caused by viral infection. This gene and other ten members of the CXC chemokine gene family form a chemokine gene cluster in a region mapped to chromosome 4q. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
