NCIt definition : Lymphotactin (114 aa, 13 kDa) is encoded by the human XCL1 gene. This protein plays
a role in chemotaxis.;
NCIt note : The amino acid sequences for lymphotactin and cytokine SCM-1 beta are identical except
for 2 residues. The amino acids at positions 7 and 8 of lymphotactin are aspartic
acid followed by lysine while positions 7 and 8 in cytokine SCM-1 beta are histidine
followed by arginine.;
