Literature on CXCL16
CXCL16 [ENSP00000293778]
C-X-C motif chemokine 16; Acts as a scavenger receptor on macrophages, which specifically binds to OxLDL (oxidized low density lipoprotein), suggesting that it may be involved in pathophysiology such as atherogenesis (By similarity). Induces a strong chemotactic response. Induces calcium mobilization. Binds to CXCR6/Bonzo; Belongs to the intercrine alpha (chemokine CxC) family.
