Interleukin-16

Preferred Label : Interleukin-16;

NCIt synonyms : Interleukin 16; IL16; IL-16; prIL-16; LCF; IL16 Protein; Lymphocyte Chemoattractant Factor; Neuronal Interleukin 16;

NCIt definition : Interleukin-16 (121 aa, 12 kDa) is encoded by the human IL16 gene. This protein plays a role in leukocyte chemotaxis.;

NCIt note : Pro-interleukin-16 is expressed as three isoforms that are the result of alternative splicing. All three isoforms may be proteolytically processed by caspase-3 to form interleukin-16. (UniProt);
