Anti-CCL18 antibody

Store Anti-CCL18 Antibody at -20°C, and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 18 (CCL18) is a 69 amino acid residue cytokine matured from an 89 amino acid precursor protein found only in human. It belongs to the CC chemokine family, with putative molecular weight of 7.8 KD. Its synonyms are PARC, DC-CK1, AMAC-1, and MIP-4. CCL18 is produced majorly by antigen-presenting dendritic cells, monocytes, and macrophages. Its production is regulated by IFN-gamma, IL-10, IL-4, and IL-13. Recently three receptors have been characterized for CCL18: PITPNM3, GPR30, and CCR8. CCL18 primarily regulates recruitment of the adaptive immune system and attracts lymphocytes including T cells, B cells, and dendritic cells. It is involved into fibrotic lung diseases, allergy, autoimmune diseases, breast cancer, and acute lymphocytic leukemia.

Expressed at high levels in lung, lymph nodes, placenta, bone marrow, dendritic cells present in germinal centers and T-cell areas of secondary lymphoid organs and macrophages derived from peripheral blood monocytes. Not expressed by peripheral blood monocytes and a monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation is a prerequisite for expression. Expressed in synovial fluids from patients with rheumatoid and septic arthritis and in ovarian carcinoma ascitic fluid. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11745396}.
