This gene belongs to the chemokine-like factor gene superfamily, a novel family that is similar to the chemokine and the transmembrane 4 superfamilies of signaling molecules. This gene is one of several chemokine-like factor genes located in a cluster on chromosome 16. Alternatively spliced transcript variants containing different 5' UTRs, but encoding the same protein, have been identified.,CMTM3,BNAS2,CKLFSF3,Immunology & Inflammation,Cytokines,Cell Intrinsic Innate Immunity Signaling Pathway,CMTM3
