About This Section
Entrez Gene summary for PF4:
This gene encodes a member of the CXC chemokine family. This chemokine is released from the alpha granules of activated
platelets in the form of a homotetramer which has high affinity for heparin and is involved in platelet aggregation.
This protein is chemotactic for numerous other cell type and also functions as an inhibitor of hematopoiesis,
angiogenesis and T-cell function. (provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: PLF4_HUMAN, P02776
Function: Released during platelet aggregation. Neutralizes the anticoagulant effect of heparin because it binds more
strongly to heparin than to the chondroitin-4-sulfate chains of the carrier molecule. Chemotactic for neutrophils and
monocytes. Inhibits endothelial cell proliferation, the short form is a more potent inhibitor than the longer form
