    FAMILY
  • intercrine alpha (chemokine CxC) family
  • CATEGORY signaling cytokine
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION extracellular
    basic FUNCTION
  • interferon gamma, T cells and NK cells chemoattractant
  • chemotactic for monocytes and T-lymphocytes
  • inducing cell death in neurons through calcium dysregulation
  • plays an important role in triggering beta cell destruction and diabetes
  • regulates liver inflammation response against ischemia/reperfusion injury
  • recruit donor-reactive T cells to the allograft, but is antagonistic costimulation molecule with CXCL9 during the priming of alloreactive T cell effectors

    small molecule
    protein
  • binding CXCR3 (Ligand of CXCR3)
  • binding partner for TLR4 and a signal toward beta cell failure in diabetes
  • plays a central role in LCN2-induced cell migration( key role for LCN2-CXCL10 axis in cell migration and reactive astrocytosis following brain inflammation or injury)
  • KLF2 negatively controls the ability of CD8 T cells to respond to the CXCR3 ligand CXCL10
  • CUX1 downregulates several NFKB-regulated chemokines such as CXCL10
