Is there a difference between the 2 follwoing terms:
1- chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 3
2- chemokine receptor ligand (C-X-C motif) ligand 3
For first term, text reads:
*** Cells have increased expression of interleukin-8; reticulon 1; and chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 3, relative to that of a human cell which is a fibroblast, a mesenchymal stem cell, or an iliac crest bone marrow cell.
I simply translated it as CXCL3 Gene (protein-coding) or CXCL3 cytokine (a type of cytokines)
For second term, text says:
*** Cells have increased expression of interleukin-8; reticulon 1; and chemokine receptor ligand (C-X-C motif) ligand 3, relative to that of a human cell which is a fibroblast, a mesenchymal stem cell, or an iliac crest bone marrow cell.
It is little confusing. Can I translate it in the same way of FIRST term or they are different?
I think, the second term an be translated as "the ligand of the receptor of CXCL3 gene.
Please advise if this is a proper translation!
Thank you in advance.

There are at least 46 chemokine ligands in humans. There are also 18 functionally signaling chemokine receptors (plus one, CXCR7, which has been recently reported as a potential chemokine receptor) and two 'decoy' or 'scavenger' receptors, DARC and D6, which are known to bind several chemokines but do not signal; their function may be to modulate inflammatory responses through their ability to remove chemokine ligands from inflammatory sites.
