Chemoattractant active on T-lymphocytes, monocytes, but not neutrophils.
Activates the C-X-C chemokine receptor CXCR4 to induce a rapid and transient rise in the level of intracellular calcium ions and chemotaxis.
Also binds to atypical chemokine receptor ACKR3, which activates the beta-arrestin pathway and acts as a scavenger receptor for SDF-1.
SDF-1-beta(3-72) and SDF-1-alpha(3-67) show a reduced chemotactic activity.
Binding to cell surface proteoglycans seems to inhibit formation of SDF-1-alpha(3-67) and thus to preserve activity on local sites.
Acts as a positive regulator of monocyte migration and a negative regulator of monocyte adhesion via the LYN kinase.
Stimulates migration of monocytes and T-lymphocytes through its receptors, CXCR4 and ACKR3, and decreases monocyte adherence to surfaces coated with ICAM-1, a ligand for beta-2 integrins.
SDF1A/CXCR4 signaling axis inhibits beta-2 integrin LFA-1 mediated adhesion of monocytes to ICAM-1 through LYN kinase.
Inhibits CXCR4-mediated infection by T-cell line-adapted HIV-1.
Plays a protective role after myocardial infarction.
Induces down-regulation and internalization of ACKR3 expressed in various cells.
Has several critical functions during embryonic development; required for B-cell lymphopoiesis, myelopoiesis in bone marrow and heart ventricular septum formation.
Applications:Suitable for use in ELISA and Immunohistochemistry.
