CCL28 (CC chemokine ligand 28)，as know as mucosae-associated epithelial chemokine (MEC), is a novel CC chemokine. Among CC chemokines, CCL28 shares the most homology with CCL27/CTACK. The CCL28 gene has been mapped to the distal region of chromosome 13. CCL28 is produced by epithelial cells of diverse tissues including normal and pathological colon, salivary gland, […]

CCL27, also known as CTACK (cutaneous T cell-attracting chemokine), ALP, ILC, and ESkine, is a member of the CC family of chemokines. Mature human CCL27 is an 88 amino acid (aa) protein that shares 57% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat CCL27. It shares 11% – 35% aa sequence identity with other human CC […]

CTACK is a keratinocyte-derived CC chemokine which signals through the CCR10 receptor. Both CTACK and CCR10 are expressed in normal and irritated epithelial cells. CTACK selectively attracts CLA+ T cells and directs them into the skin. CTACK contains the four highly conserved cysteine residues present in most CC chemokines. The mature protein contains 88 amino […]

Eotaxin-3, also named CCL26 or SCYA26, is a novel human CC chemokine. The eotaxin subfamily of CC chemokines consists of eotaxin-1/CCL11, eotaxin-2/CCL24 and eotaxin-3/CCL26. Eotaxin-3/CCL26 has been shown to be expressed by several different cell types, including basophils, dendritic cells, smooth muscle cells, epithelial cells and fibroblasts. Interleukin (IL)-4 is the main inducer for eotaxin-3 […]

TECK is a CC chemokine, specifically expressed by thymic stromal cells, and signals through the CCR9 receptor. TECK is chemotactic towards activated macrophages, thymocytes and dendritic cells. Recombinant Human TECK is a 14.3 kDa protein containing 127 amino acid residues, including the four conserved cysteine residues present in CC chemokines.

Eotaxin-2, also named myeloid progenitor inhibitory factor (MPIF-2), is a member of the CC chemokine subfamily and is designated CCL24. Eotaxin-2 is constitutively expressed in the jejunum and spleen. It can also be induced in the lung by allergen challenge and IL-4. LPS and IL-4 also differentially regulate the expression of Eotaxin-2 in monocytes and […]

Eotaxin-2 is a CC chemokine that signals through the CCR3 receptor. It is produced by activated monocytes and T lymphocytes. Eotaxin-2 selectively chemoattracts cells expressing CCR3, including eosinophils, basophils, Th2 T cells, mast cells, and certain subsets of dendritic cells. Additionally, Eotaxin-2 inhibits the proliferation of multipotential hematopoietic progenitor cells. The mature protein, which also […]

CCL23 is a member of CC chemokine family and is encoded by CCL23 gene located on Chr.17 in humans, where near several other CC chemokines. Highly expressed in adult lung, liver, skeletal muscle and pancreas, this protein shows strong chemotactic activity for monocytes, resting T-lymphocytes, and neutrophils, but not for activated lymphocytes. It elicits the […]
