CXCL5 Gene

HGNC Family Endogenous ligands, Chemokine ligands (CCL)
Name chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 5
Description This gene encodes a protein that is a member of the CXC subfamily of chemokines. Chemokines, which recruit and activate leukocytes, are classified by function (inflammatory or homeostatic) or by structure. This protein is proposed to bind the G-protein coupled receptor chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 2 to recruit neutrophils, to promote angiogenesis and to remodel connective tissues. This protein is thought to play a role in cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]
Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n CXCL5, also known as epithelial neutrophil‐activating peptide‐78, is emerging as a multifunctional chemokine that contributes to cancer progression by mediating both direct tumor cell signaling and immune cell recruitment. In hepatocellular carcinoma, for instance, CXCL5 is overexpressed in highly metastatic tumors where it activates oncogenic pathways such as PI3K–Akt and ERK1/2 to promote cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Moreover, CXCL5 exerts potent chemoattractant activity, drawing neutrophils into the tumor microenvironment—a process that is closely linked to enhanced angiogenesis and further tumor dissemination. More generally, as a member of the ELR+ CXC chemokine family, CXCL5 bridges inflammatory responses with tumor progression, indicating its potential role as both a prognostic indicator and a therapeutic target in malignancies."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Shao-Lai Zhou, Zhi Dai, Zheng-Jun Zhou, et al.
