BLC Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 13 (CXCL13) Homo sapiens B lymphocyte chemoattractant, independently cloned and named Angie, is an antimicrobial peptide and CXC chemokine strongly expressed in the follicles of the spleen, lymph nodes, and Peyer's patches. It preferentially promotes the migration of B lymphocytes (compared to T cells and macrophages), apparently by stimulating calcium influx into, and chemotaxis of, cells expressing Burkitt's lymphoma receptor 1 (BLR-1) . It may therefore function in the homing of B lymphocytes to follicles. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014], function:Chemotactic for B-lymphocytes but not for T-lymphocytes, monocytes and neutrophils. Does not induce calcium release in B-lymphocytes. Binds to BLR1/CXCR5., online information:CXCL13 entry, similarity:Belongs to the intercrine alpha (chemokine CxC) family., tissue specificity:Highest levels in liver, followed by spleen, lymph node, appendix and stomach. Low levels in salivary gland, mammary gland and fetal spleen.
