BRAK, CXCL14, murine (mouse): Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 14 (CXCL14), also named BRAK, is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family. It is constitutively expressed at the mRNA level in certain normal tissues and it possesses chemoattractive activity for activated macrophages, immature dendritic cells and natural killer cells. According to the relevant literature, CXCL14 is associated with tumor development. Moreover, recent evidence revealed that CXCL14 participates in glucose metabolism, feeding behaviour-associated neuronal circuits, and anti-microbial defense. Although CXCL14 receptors have not yet been identified, the intracellular activity of CXCL14 in breast cancer cells suggests that the CXCL14 receptor(s) and signal transduction pathway(s) may be different from those of conventional CXC-type chemokines. Recombinant murine CXCL14 contains 77 amino acid residues and it shares 97 % and 99 % a.a. sequence identity with human and rat CXCL14., UnitProt ID: Q9WUQ5.
