Function
Acts as an eosinophil chemoattractant. It also inhibits angiogenesis. Suppresses IFNG production by natural killer cells.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Secreted
Tissue Specificity: Peripheral blood leukocytes and lymphatic tissues. Expressed in lung, liver, breast and kidney with higher levels in tumor endothelial cells than normal endothelium (at protein level). Expressed in trophoblast cells in decidua and placenta in pregnancy (at protein level). Isoform 2 is the most abundant isoform expressed in endothelial cells. Upon endothelial cell activation isoform 2 expression decreases while expression of isoform 3 and isoform 5 increases. Isoform 4 decreases in pathological pregnancy
