  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001399",
  "term": "B-lymphocyte chemokine",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A signaling protein that attracts B lymphocytes to specific locations within lymphoid tissues. These chemokines bind to G protein-coupled receptors on the B-cell surface, guiding their migration through a chemotactic gradient. CXCL13, also known as B-lymphocyte chemoattractant (BLC), is a primary chemokine for B cells in lymph nodes and the spleen.",
