ncbi 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 chemotactic for numerous other cell type and also functions as an inhibitor of hematopoiesis, angiogenesis and T-cell function. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]
uniprot summary :
Function: Released during platelet aggregation. Neutralizes the anticoagulant effect of heparin because it binds more strongly to heparin than to the chondroitin-4-sulfate chains of the carrier molecule. Chemotactic for neutrophils and monocytes. Inhibits endothelial cell proliferation, the short form is a more potent inhibitor than the longer form. Ref.11. Subunit structure: Homotetramer. Ref.13 Ref.14. Subcellular location: Secreted. Sequence similarities: Belongs to the intercrine alpha (chemokine CxC) family. Mass spectrometry: Molecular mass is 7765 Da from positions 32 - 101. Determined by ESI. Ref.11Molecular mass is 6033 Da from positions 48 - 101. Determined by ESI. Short form. Ref.11
