Summary
CXCL9 (C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 9, HGNC:7098) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 4q21.1, encoding C-X-C motif chemokine 9 (Q07325). Cytokine that affects the growth, movement, or activation state of cells that participate in immune and inflammatory response.
This antimicrobial gene is part of a chemokine superfamily that encodes secreted proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The protein encoded is thought to be involved in T cell trafficking. The encoded protein binds to C-X-C motif chemokine 3 and is a chemoattractant for lymphocytes but not for neutrophils.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 74 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.
