Enables chemokine activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; neutrophil chemotaxis; and positive regulation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration. Located in extracellular space. Biomarker of Coronavirus infectious disease and bacterial pneumonia. Orthologous to human CXCL1 (C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 1); CXCL2 (C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 2); and CXCL3 (C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
