This antibacterial gene encodes a member of the chemokine superfamily. Chemokines play a role in inflammation and immune responses, inducing leukocyte migration and activation. The encoded protein is a member of the c chemokine subfamily, retains only two of the four cysteines conserved in other chemokines, and is considered to have a specific chemotactic effect on T cells. This gene and a closely related family member are located on the long arm of chromosome 1.
