CXCL12

CXCL12 (SDF-1, chr10q11.21) is a constitutive CXC chemokine; CXCR4 → Gαi → PI3K/Akt retains HSC in bone marrow; plerixafor (CXCR4 antagonist) mobilizes HSC for transplantation; CXCR4 drives cancer metastasis to CXCL12-rich organs and is the X4-tropic HIV-1 co-receptor.

Also known as: CXCL12, SDF-1, stromal cell-derived factor 1, SDF1, PBSF, CXCL12α, CXCL12β
