Immunopharmacology Ligand
Comment: CXCL12-1α and β were the first isoforms of this chemokine identified. Both proteins contain a signal peptide sequence that medaites their secretion via the canonical intracellular secretory pathway. CXCL12 participates in a variety of processes central to homeostasis and physiology, exerting its biological effects by binding to the chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CXCR7.

Bioactivity Comments
Gene deletion of CXCL12 in mice is lethal in late stage embryonic development (E18.5) [2]. Lethal developmental defects affecting the central nervous system, heart and vasculature are observed with deletion of the ligand gene, or of the genes for the CXCL12 receptors (CXCR4 [4-5] and CXCR7 [3]).
