geneOn this page
Also known as GCP-2CKA-3
Summary
CXCL6 (C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 6, HGNC:10643) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 4q13.3, encoding C-X-C motif chemokine 6 (P80162). Chemotactic for neutrophil granulocytes.
The protein encoded by this gene is a member CXC chemokine family. The encoded protein is a chemotactic for neutrophil granulocytes and has antibacterial action against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. This gene and other members of the CXC chemokine gene family form a gene cluster in a region of chromosome 4q.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 13 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
