Both proteins contain a signal peptide sequence that medaites their secretion via the canonical intracellular secretory pathway. CXCL12 participates in a variety of processes central to homeostasis and physiology, exerting its biological effects by binding to the chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CXCR7.
