HCC-4/CCL16, Human(CHO-expressed)

-65

Human HCC­4, also named NCC­4and Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 16 (CCL16) is a small cytokine belonging to the CC chemokine family that is known under several pseudonyms, including Liver-expressed chemokine (LEC) and Monotactin-1 (MTN-1). It can signal through the CCR8 and CCR1 receptors, and it is chemotactic towards monocytes and lymphocytes but not neutrophils. HCC-4 is expressed weakly by some lymphocytes, including NK cells, T cells, and some T cell clones. The expression of HCC-4 in monocytes is greatly up-regulated in the presence of IL-10. HCC-4 induces a calcium flux in thp-1 cells that are desensitized prior to the expression of RANTES.
