Protein Function
Potent chemoattractant for neutrophils, and weaker for dendritic cells. Not chemotactic for T-cells, B-cells, monocytes, natural killer cells or granulocytes. Does not inhibit proliferation of myeloid progenitors in colony formation assays. .
Background
Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 14 (CXCL14) is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family that is also known as BRAK (for breast and kidney-expressed chemokine). This gene is mapped to 5q31.1. CXCL14 is constitutively expressed at high levels in many normal tissues, it has been found that fibroblasts are the primary source of CXCL14 and that CXCL14 is involved in the homeostasis of monocyte-derived macrophages rather than in inflammation. It is also a potent chemoattractant and activator of dendritic cells, is implicated in homing of these cells, and can stimulate the migration of activated NK cells. CXCL14 also inhibits angiogenesis, possibly as a result of its ability to block endothelial cell chemotaxis. In addition to it, CXCL14 is a potent chemokine for immature DCs, with a chemoattractive activity comparable to bacterial fMLP and MIP1A.

Tissue Specificity
Expressed in heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas. Highly expressed in normal tissue without inflammatory stimuli and infrequently expressed in cancer cell lines. Weakly expressed in monocyte- derived dendritic cells. Not detected in lung or unstimulated peripheral blood lymphocytes. .
Sequence
Belongs to the intercrine alpha (chemokine CxC) family.
