| Function |
Plays a role in angiogenesis and possibly in the development of tumors. May be a housekeeping chemokine regulating recruitment of nonactivated blood monocytes and immature dendritic cells into tissues. May play a role in the innate defense against infections. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16455961, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16989774, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17307946}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Secreted.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Detected in trachea, stomach, lung and skeletal muscle. Detected in intestine and in normal and asthmatic lung (at protein level). Breast tumors showed 3- to 24-fold up- regulation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16455961, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16989774}.
