Gene name Platelet factor 4
Gene symbol PF4
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CXCL4PF-4SCYB4
Chromosome 4
Chromosome location 4q13.3
Summary This gene encodes a member of the CXC chemokine family. This chemokine is released from the alpha granules of activated platelets in the form of a homotetramer which has high affinity for heparin and is involved in platelet aggregation. This protein is ch
