Potentially involved in T-cell development. Recombinant protein shows chotactic activity on thymocytes, macrophages, THP-1 cells, and dendritics cells but is inactive on peripheral blood lymphocytes and neutrophils. Binds to CCR9. Binds to atypical chokine receptor ACKR4 and mediates the recruitment of beta-arrestin (ARRB1,2) to ACKR4.
