chemoattractant
This term is a specialized technical word used almost exclusively in biochemistry, immunology, and cell biology. It describes the specific mechanism of chemotaxis, where a chemical gradient guides the directional movement of cells, such as leukocytes moving toward a site of inflammation.
In a professional scientific register, it is used to describe the agent itself rather than the process. It is often contrasted with "chemorepellent," which refers to substances that drive cells away from a source.
