CATEGORY

signaling cytokine

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

extracellular

basic FUNCTION	T cells and NK cells chemoattractant
	affecting the growth, movement, or activation state of cells that participate in immune and inflammatory response
	roles in both host defense of the male urogenital tract and during fertilization
	participate in immune and inflammatory responses through the chemoattraction and activation of polymorphonuclear neutrophils, T cells and B cells
	promotes CXCR3-dependent immune-mediated kidney disease
	recruit donor-reactive T cells to the allograft, and promotes the development of IFN-gamma-producing CD8 T cells
	has immunomodulatory functions that are not mediated through a G-protein coupled receptor and may possess additional roles in host defenses against infection

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

CXCL9-CXCR3 regulates Th1-associated immune pathways in liver

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	interacts with the receptor CXCR3, which also binds two other structurally related ligands: IFN-gamma-inducible protein CXCL10, CXCL11
	CXCL9 was involved in the invasion ability of hepatocellular carcinoma possibly through up-regulation of its potential effector PREX2
