Gene: PF4V1

Alternate names for this Gene: CXCL4L1|CXCL4V1|PF4-ALT|PF4A|SCYB4V1

Gene Summary: 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 4

Location in Chromosome : 4q13.3

Description of this Gene: platelet factor 4 variant 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
