Summary: Predicted to enable CXCR3 chemokine receptor binding activity; chemokine activity; and heparin binding activity. Involved in antimicrobial humoral immune response mediated by antimicrobial peptide and defense response to protozoan. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including blood vessel; bone marrow; central nervous system; liver; and yolk sac. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in multiple myeloma. Orthologous to human PF4 (platelet factor 4) and PF4V1 (platelet factor 4 variant 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.
