这种抗菌基因编码CXC亚家族的趋化因子和受体CXCR3的配体。该蛋白与cxcr3结合可产生多种效应，包括刺激单核细胞、自然杀伤细胞和t细胞迁移，以及调节粘附分子的表达。[由RefSeq提供，2014年9月]
This antimicrobial gene encodes a chemokine of the CXC subfamily and ligand for the receptor CXCR3. Binding of this protein to CXCR3 results in pleiotropic effects, including stimulation of monocytes, natural killer and T-cell migration, and modulation of adhesion molecule expression.
