LocusSupplementaryData =Chemokine (C motif) ligand 2 (XCL2) is a small
cytokine belonging to the XCchemokine family that is highly related to another chemokine calledXCL1 . [cite journal |author=Kennedy J, Kelner G, Kleyensteuber S, Schall T, Weiss M, Yssel H, Schneider P, Cocks B, Bacon K, Zlotnik A |title=Molecular cloning and functional characterization of human lymphotactin |journal=J Immunol |volume=155 |issue=1 |pages=203–9 |year=1995 |pmid=7602097] It is predominantly expressed in activatedT cell s, but can also be found at low levels in unstimulated cells. XCL2 induceschemotaxis of cells expressing thechemokine receptor XCR1 . [cite journal |author=Yoshida T, Imai T, Kakizaki M, Nishimura M, Takagi S, Yoshie O |title=Identification of single C motif-1/lymphotactin receptor XCR1 |journal=J Biol Chem |volume=273 |issue=26 |pages=16551–4 |year=1998 |pmid=9632725 |doi=10.1074/jbc.273.26.16551] Itsgene is located onchromosome 1 in humans.
