Summary: Enables cytokine activity. Involved in cytokine-mediated signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including induction of positive chemotaxis; positive regulation of chemokine production; and positive regulation of neutrophil activation. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including foregut; jaw; limb; respiratory system; and vibrissa.

In the pristane model of IFN-driven pulmonary inflammation and hemorrhage, miR-125a levels are decreased in the lung as early as 3 days after pristane administration; this is accompanied by an increase in neutrophil recruitment and IL-16 expression. Alterations in miR-125a levels in the lung result in enhanced expression of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-16 which acts directly on lung epithelial cells.

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.
