CCL6

CCL6, belongs to the CC family of chemokines is located in mouse chromosome 11. CCL6 can be expressed in cells of the neutrophil and macrophage lineage in mice and can be induced in large numbers under conditions suitable for bone marrow cell differentiation. C10/CCL6 shares significant homology with other chemokines, including human MIP-1γ, CC chemokine F-18 (CCF-18), hemofiltrate CC chemokine (HCC-1), and HCC-2[1]. CCL6 is present in a variety of chronic inflammatory disorders including experimental demyelinating diseases, allergic airway inflammation, bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis and chronic peritonitis. CCL6 also can be used as a monocyte chemoattractant in a murine acute peritonitis[2].
