CXCL16 is a member of the CXC chemokine family. Larger than other chemokines, it is one of the only two transmembrane chemokines in the family and the other is CX3CL1. Mouse CXCL16 has 246 a.a. and consists of a 26 a.a. residue putative signal peptide, an 88 a.a. residue chemokine domain, an 87 a.a. residue mucin-like spacer region, a 22 a.a. residue transmembrane domain, and a 23 a.a. residue cytoplasmic tail. Mouse CXCL16 shares 70 % sequence identity with human CXCL16 in chemokine domain. CXCL16 interacts with the chemokine receptor CXCR6, also known as Bonzo. Expression of CXCL16 is induced by the inflammatory cytokines IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha. Functions of CXCL16 include inducing a strong chemotactic response and calcium mobilization. CXCL16 also acts as a scavenger receptor on macrophages, which specifically binds to OxLDL (oxidized low density lipoprotein), suggesting that it may be involved in pathophysiology such as atherogenesis.
