| Chemoattractant active on T-lymphocytes, monocytes, but not neutrophils. Activates the C-X-C chemokine receptor CXCR4 to induce a rapid and transient rise in the level of intracellular calcium ions and chemotaxis. Also binds to atypical chemokine receptor ACKR3, which activates the beta-arrestin pathway and acts as a scavenger receptor for SDF-1. SDF-1-beta(3-72) and SDF-1-alpha(3-67) show a reduced chemotactic activity. Binding to cell surface proteoglycans seems to inhibit formation of SDF-1-alpha(3-67) and thus to preserve activity on local sites. Acts as a positive regulator of monocyte migration and a negative regulator of monocyte adhesion via the LYN kinase. Stimulates migration of monocytes and T-lymphocytes through its receptors, CXCR4 and ACKR3, and decreases monocyte adherence to surfaces coated with ICAM-1, a ligand for beta-2 integrins. SDF1A/CXCR4 signaling axis inhibits beta-2 integrin LFA-1 mediated adhesion of monocytes to ICAM-1 through LYN kinase. Inhibits CXCR4-mediated infection by T-cell line-adapted HIV-1. Plays a protective role after myocardial infarction. Induces down-regulation and internalization of ACKR3 expressed in various cells. Has several critical functions during embryonic development, required for B-cell lymphopoiesis, myelopoiesis in bone marrow and heart ventricular septum formation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11069075, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11859124, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16107333, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18802065, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19255243, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8752281}. Biological Activity: Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The biological activity determined by a chemotaxis bioassay using PHA and rHuIL2 activated human peripheral blood Tlymphocytes is in a concentration range of 30100ng/ml.
