WormMine: GOTerm GO:0019956 chemokine binding GO

Name
GO

Identifier	Name	Description
GO:0003674	molecular_function	A molecular process that can be carried out by the action of a single macromolecular machine, usually via direct physical interactions with other molecular entities. Function in this sense denotes an action, or activity, that a gene product (or a complex) performs.
GO:0005488	binding	The selective, non-covalent, often stoichiometric, interaction of a molecule with one or more specific sites on another molecule.
GO:0005515	protein binding	Binding to a protein.
GO:0019955	cytokine binding	Binding to a cytokine, any of a group of proteins that function to control the survival, growth and differentiation of tissues and cells, and which have autocrine and paracrine activity.
GO:0019956	chemokine binding	Binding to a chemokine. Chemokines are a family of small chemotactic cytokines; their name is derived from their ability to induce directed chemotaxis in nearby responsive cells. All chemokines possess a number of conserved cysteine residues involved in intramolecular disulfide bond formation. Some chemokines are considered pro-inflammatory and can be induced during an immune response to recruit cells of the immune system to a site of infection, while others are considered homeostatic and are involved in controlling the migration of cells during normal processes of tissue maintenance or development. Chemokines are found in all vertebrates, some viruses and some bacteria.
