Also known as: Scya4; Mip1-b
Summary: Enables chemokine activity. Involved in leukocyte chemotaxis; positive regulation of tumor necrosis factor production; and positive regulation of vascular permeability. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Biomarker of anti-basement membrane glomerulonephritis; obesity; and status epilepticus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and human immunodeficiency virus infectious disease. Orthologous to several human genes including CCL4 (C-C motif chemokine ligand 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
