platelet factor 4 variant 1
Alias
CXCL4L1 | CXCL4V1 | PF4-ALT | PF4A | SCYB4V1
The protein encoded by this gene is a chemokine that is highly similar to platelet factor 4. The encoded protein displays a strong antiangiogenic function and is regulated by chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 3. This protein also impairs tumor growth and can protect against blood-retinal barrier breakdown in diabetes patients. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015].
