Chemokine-like protein TAFA-5 is a
protein that in humans is encoded by the TAFA5gene.[5][6]
This gene is a member of the
TAFA family which is composed of five highly
homologous genes that encode small
secreted proteins. These proteins contain conserved cysteine residues at fixed positions, and are distantly related to
CCL3, a member of the
CC-chemokine family. The TAFA proteins are predominantly expressed in specific regions of the brain, and are postulated to function as brain-specific
chemokines or
neurokines, that act as regulators of immune and nervous cells.[6]
