Also Known as HC14; MCP2; MCP-2; SCYA8; SCYA10
Species: Homo sapiens
About CCL8
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 101 orthologues and 25 paralogues. Broad expression in small intestine (RPKM 5.2), fat (RPKM 4.6) and 22 other tissues.
Summary
This antimicrobial gene is one of several chemokine genes clustered on the q-arm of chromosome 17. Chemokines form a superfamily of secreted proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The superfamily is divided into four subfamilies based on the arrangement of N-terminal cysteine residues of the mature peptide. This chemokine is a member of the CC subfamily which is characterized by two adjacent cysteine residues. This cytokine displays chemotactic activity for monocytes, lymphocytes, basophils and eosinophils. By recruiting leukocytes to sites of inflammation this cytokine may contribute to tumor-associated leukocyte infiltration and to the Antiviral state against HIV Infection.
