[chemotactic]
General term used to describe the directed cell locomotion in concentration gradients of soluble extracellular agents. Substances that induce a chemotactic response (CTF = chemotactic factors) are known also under the general name of Cytotaxin, Chemotaxin, or Chemoattractants. For other mechanisms of cell migration not relying on gradients of factors see also: durotaxis, plithotaxis.
Cells showing Positive chemotaxis move towards areas with higher concentrations of these agents, those showing Negative chemotaxis move away from these areas (see also: fugetaxis; see also:
