Protein name C-C motif chemokine 21 (6Ckine) (Beta-chemokine exodus-2) (Secondary lymphoid-tissue chemokine) (SLC) (Small-inducible cytokine A21)
Protein function Inhibits hemopoiesis and stimulates chemotaxis. Chemotactic in vitro for thymocytes and activated T-cells, but not for B-cells, macrophages, or neutrophils. Shows preferential activity towards naive T-cells. May play a role in mediating homing o
