Comments
Comment typeDescription
FunctionChemotactic for interleukin-activated T-cells but not unstimulated T-cells, neutrophils or monocytes. Induces calcium release in activated T-cells. Binds to CXCR3. May play an important role in CNS diseases which involve T-cell recruitment. May play a role in skin immune responses.
InductionBy IFNG/IFN-gamma and IFNB1/IFN-beta. Induction by IFNG/IFN-gamma is enhanced by TNF in monocytes, dermal fibroblasts and endothelial cells, and by IL1/interleukin-1 in astrocytes.
