SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES

Belongs to the intercrine alpha (chemokine CxC) family.

TISSUE SPECIFICITY

Mainly secreted by monocytes, endothelial cells as well as fibroblasts. Expressed by epithelial cells in thymus. Microglial cells produce CXCL10 in response to viral stimulation.

POST-TRANSLATIONAL MODIFICATION

Several proteases can mediate post-secretion cleavages. DPP4 cleaves CXCL10 on its N-terminal 2 amino acids leading to an antagonist form of CXCL10. This dominant negative form is capable of binding CXCR3 but does not induce signaling. MMP9 cleaves 9 amino acids instead.

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION

Secreted.

FUNCTION

Chemokines are members of a superfamily of inducible, secreted, pro-inflammatory cytokines. Members of the chemokine family exhibit 20% to 50% homology in their predicted amino acid sequences and are divided into four subfamilies: C-C, C-X-C, C and C-X3-C. In the C-X-C or α subfamily, the first two of four cysteine motifs are separated by another amino acid residue. In the second subfamily, designated C-C or β, the first cysteines are adjacent. C subfamily members, also designated γ chemokines, lack the first and third cysteine residues of the conserved motif. In the C-X3-C, or δ subfamily, members have three amino acids between the two cysteines. The C-X-C chemokine subfamily includes IL-8, GROα/β/γ (and the murine homologs KC, MIP-2α and MIP-2β), platelet basic protein, ENA-78, GCP-2, PF4, IP-10 (and its murine homolog, CRG) and MIG.
