CXCL14-1

B-cell and Monocyte-activating Chemokine, Chemokine BRAK, Kidney-expressed Chemokine CXC, CXCL14, MIP-2G, Small-inducible Cytokine B14

Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 14 (CXCL14), also named BRAK, is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family. Recombinant mouse CXCL14 contains 77 amino acid residues and it shares 97 % and 99 % a.a. sequence identity with human and rat CXCL14. CXCL14 serves as a chemoattractant for activated macrophages, immature dendritic cells and natural killer cells, as well as an antiangiogenic factor by preventing the migration of endothelial cells. CXCL14 also exerts an inhibitory effect on the CXCL12/ CXCR4 signaling pathway, which is involved in the maintenance of T‐helper (Th)2 bias, and promotes Th1 immune response under the physiological and pathological conditions. CXCL14 has been shown to be a highly selective chemoattractant for monocytes that have been treated with prostaglandin E2 or forskolin, agents that activate adenylate cyclase.
