This gene encodes a secreted chemotactic protein that initiates chemotaxis via the ChemR23 G protein-coupled seven-transmembrane domain ligand. Expression of this gene is upregulated by the synthetic retinoid tazarotene and occurs in a wide variety of tissues. The active protein has several roles, including that as an adipokine, and is truncated on both termini from the proprotein. (provided by RefSeq)

Chemerin activates chemerin-like receptor 1 (CMKLR1) and stimulates chemotaxis in macrophages, natural killer cells and immature dendritic cells. It is also involved in the activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases, stimulation of blood vessel formation, migration and invasion.
