Also known as: Ccl21b
Summary: Predicted to enable CCR7 chemokine receptor binding activity and chemokine activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of intracellular signal transduction; regulation of leukocyte migration; and regulation of plasma membrane bounded cell projection assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within induction of positive chemotaxis; lymph node development; and positive regulation of T cell migration. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Orthologous to human CCL21 (C-C motif chemokine ligand 21). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
Expression: Biased expression in Spleen (RPKM 1901.9), Thymus (RPKM 1187.6) 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.
