Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 20 (CCL20) or liver activation regulated chemokine (LARC) or Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-3 (MIP3A) is a small cytokine belonging to the CC chemokine family. It is strongly chemotactic for lymphocytes and weakly attracts neutrophils, also known as LARC (Liver and Activation-regulated Chemokine) and as Exodus. It can signal through the CCR6 receptor. MIP-3 alpha is chemotactic towards lymphocytes and dendritic cells. Additionally, it promotes the adhesion of memory CD⁴⁺ T cells and inhibits colony formation of bone marrow myeloid immature progenitors.
Recombinant Human MIP-3alpha/CCL20 produced in E.coliis a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 70 amino acids. A fully biologically active molecule, rhMIP-3alpha/CCL20has a molecular mass of 8.0 kDa analyzed by reducing SDS-PAGE and is obtained by chromatographic techniques at GenScript.
