Facts about C-C motif chemokine 16.
Recombinant SCYA16 reveals chemotactic activity for monocytes and THP-1 monocytes, but not for resting lymphocytes and neutrophils. Induces a calcium flux in THP-1 cells that were desensitized by prior expression to RANTES.

Mainly expressed in liver, also found in spleen and thymus. Highly expressed in LPS- and IFN-gamma- activated monocytes, weakly in some lymphocytes, including natural killer cells, gamma-delta T-cells, and some T-cell clones.
Secreted.
