Induces a strong chemotactic response. Induces calcium mobilization. Binds to CXCR6/Bonzo. Also acts as a scavenger receptor on macrophages, which specifically binds to OxLDL (oxidized low density lipoprotein), suggesting that it may be involved in pathophysiology such as atherogenesis (By similarity). By interleukin-18 and the induction is strongly mediated by an activator protein-1-dependent pathway. Glycosylated. Belongs to the intercrine alpha (chemokine CxC) family.
