CXCL7

Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 7 (CXCL7) is a human is_associated_with::gene.

The encoded protein, Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand is a small is_associated_with::cytokine belonging to the CXC is_associated_with::chemokine family. It is an isoform of is_associated_with::Beta-Thromboglobulin or Pro-Platelet basic protein (PPBP).

It is a protein that is released in large amounts from is_associated_with::platelets following their activation. It stimulates various processes including is_associated_with::mitogenesis, synthesis of is_associated_with::extracellular matrix, is_associated_with::glucose metabolism and synthesis of is_associated_with::plasminogen activator.
