Gene:
chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 10
Gene ID:
205219
Symbol:
CXCL10
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene encodes the interferon (gamma)-induced protein of 10kDa, a chemokine of the CXC subfamily that is one of the ligands for the receptor CXCR3. The binding of this protein to CXCR3 causes pleiotropic effects, including stimulation of monocytes, natural killer and T-cell migration, and modulation of adhesion molecule expression.
