CXCL9 C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 9 [Homo sapiens (human)] - Gene

Summary

Official Symbol: CXCL9provided by HGNC
Official Full Name: C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 9provided by HGNC
Primary source: HGNC:HGNC:7098
See related: Ensembl:ENSG00000138755 MIM:601704; AllianceGenome:HGNC:7098
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo
Also known as: CMK; MIG; Humig; SCYB9; crg-10
Summary: This antimicrobial gene is part of a chemokine superfamily that encodes secreted proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The protein encoded is thought to be involved in T cell trafficking. The encoded protein binds to C-X-C motif chemokine 3 and is a chemoattractant for lymphocytes but not for neutrophils.

Annotation information: Note: This gene has been reviewed for its involvement in coronavirus biology, and is involved in immune response or antiviral activity.
Expression: Biased expression in lymph node (RPKM 167.1), appendix (RPKM 44.1) and 5 other tissues See more

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
