Also known as SCM-1b, SCM1B, SCYC2, chemokine (C motif) ligand 2, X-C motif chemokine ligand 2
Chemokine (C motif) ligand 2 (XCL2) is a small cytokine belonging to the XC chemokine family that is highly related to another chemokine called XCL1. It is predominantly expressed in activated T cells, but can also be found at low levels in unstimulated cells. XCL2 induces chemotaxis of cells expressing the chemokine receptor XCR1. Its gene is located on chromosome 1 in humans.
Predicted to enable CCR chemokine receptor binding activity and chemokine activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to cytokine stimulus; leukocyte chemotaxis; and positive regulation of T cell chemotaxis. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
