Facts about Chemokine-like protein TAFA-5.
Blocks TNFSF11/RANKL- induced osteoclast formation from macrophages by inhibiting up- regulation of osteoclast fusogenic and differentiation genes (By similarity). Stimulation of macrophage migration and inhibition of osteoclast formation is mediated via GPCR FPR2 (By similarity).
