CXCL10

C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10

ENTREZID: 3627 | Type: NA | Map: 4q21.1

Summary Entrez
This antimicrobial gene encodes a chemokine of the CXC subfamily and ligand for the receptor CXCR3. Binding of this protein to CXCR3 results in pleiotropic effects, including stimulation of monocytes, natural killer and T-cell migration, and modulation of adhesion molecule expression. This gene may also be a key regulator of the ‘cytokine storm’ immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2020]
