Cxcl3

Enables chemokine activity. Involved in cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; neutrophil chemotaxis; and positive regulation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration. Located in extracellular space. Biomarker of Coronavirus infectious disease and bacterial pneumonia. Orthologous to human CXCL1 (C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 1); CXCL2 (C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 2); and CXCL3 (C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Cxcl3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
