mRNA

Human CCL24 mRNA encodes the human C-C motif chemokine ligand 24 (CCL24) protein, a cytokine that displays chemotactic activity on resting T lymphocytes, a minimal activity on neutrophils, and is negative on monocytes and activated T lymphocytes. CCL24 also has antimicrobial activity, displaying an antibacterial effect on S. pneumoniae, S. aureus, Non-typeable H. influenzae, and P. aeruginosa.

Human CCL25 mRNA encodes the human C-C motif chemokine ligand 25 (CCL25) protein, a cytokine that displays chemotactic activity for dendritic cells, thymocytes, and activated macrophages but is inactive on peripheral blood lymphocytes and neutrophils.

Human CCL26 mRNA encodes the human C-C motif chemokine ligand 26 (CCL26) protein, a cytokine that displays chemotactic activity for normal peripheral blood eosinophils and basophils. CCL26 also has antimicrobial activity, displaying an antibacterial effect on S. pneumoniae, S. aureus, Non-typeable H. influenzae, and P. aeruginosa.

Human CCL27 mRNA encodes the human C-C motif chemokine ligand 27 (CCL27) protein, a chemotactic for skin-associated memory T lymphocytes. CCL27 also plays a role in mediating homing of lymphocytes to cutaneous sites. It specifically binds to chemokine receptor 10 (CCR10).

Human CCL28 mRNA encodes the human C-C motif chemokine ligand 28 (CCL28) protein, a cytokine that displays chemotactic activity for resting CD4 or CD8 T cells and eosinophils. CCL28 may play a role in the physiology of extracutaneous epithelial tissues, including diverse mucosal organs.

Human CCL3L1 mRNA encodes the human C-C motif chemokine ligand 3 like 1 (CCL3L1) protein. It is a ligand for CCR1, CCR3 and CCR5.

Human CCL4L1 mRNA encodes the human C-C motif chemokine ligand 4 like 1 (CCL4L1) protein, a chemokine that can induce chemotaxis of cells expressing CCR5 or CCR1.

Human CCL5 mRNA encodes the human C-C motif chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5) protein, a member of the CC subfamily, functions as a chemoattractant for blood monocytes, memory T helper cells and eosinophils. CCL5 is one of the major HIV-suppressive factors produced by CD8+ cells. It functions as one of the natural ligands for the chemokine receptor chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 5 (CCR5), and it suppresses in vitro replication of the R5 strains of HIV-1, which use CCR5 as a coreceptor.

Human CCL7 mRNA encodes the human C-C motif chemokine ligand 7 (CCL7) protein, a member of the CC subfamily which is characterized by two adjacent cysteine residues. CCL7 is an in vivo substrate of matrix metalloproteinase 2, an enzyme which degrades components of the extracellular matrix.

Human CCL8 mRNA encodes the human C-C motif chemokine ligand 8 (CCL8) protein, a member of the CC subfamily. CCL8 displays chemotactic activity for monocytes, lymphocytes, basophils and eosinophils.

Human CCR1 mRNA encodes the human C-C motif chemokine receptor 1 (CCR1) protein, a member of the beta chemokine receptor family. Chemokines and their receptors are critical for the recruitment of effector immune cells to the site of inflammation.

Human CCR10 mRNA encodes the human C-C motif chemokine receptor 10 (CCR10) protein, a member of chemokines which play fundamental roles in the development, homeostasis, and function of the immune system, and they have effects on cells of the central nervous system as well as on endothelial cells involved in angiogenesis or angiostasis.

Human CCR2 mRNA encodes the human C-C motif chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) protein, a chemokine which specifically mediates monocyte chemotaxis. CCR2 can mediate agonist-dependent calcium mobilization and inhibition of adenylyl cyclase.

Human CCR3 mRNA encodes the human C-C motif chemokine receptor 3 (CCR3) protein, a member of G protein-coupled receptors family. CCR3 may contribute to the accumulation and activation of eosinophils and other inflammatory cells in the allergic airway. It is also known to be an entry co-receptor for HIV-1.

Human CCR4 mRNA encodes the human C-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) protein, a member of G protein-coupled receptors family. CCR4 is a receptor for the CC chemokine - MIP-1, RANTES, TARC and MCP-1. Chemokines are a group of small polypeptide, structurally related molecules that regulate cell trafficking of various types of leukocytes. The chemokines also play fundamental roles in the development, homeostasis, and function of the immune system, and they have effects on cells of the central nervous system as well as on endothelial cells involved in angiogenesis or angiostasis.

Human CCR5 mRNA encodes the human C-C motif chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) protein, a member of the beta chemokine receptor family. CCR5 is known to be an important co-receptor for macrophage-tropic virus, including HIV, to enter host cells. It may also play a role in granulocyte lineage proliferation and differentiation.

Human CCR7 mRNA encodes the human C-C motif chemokine receptor 7 (CCR7) protein, a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family. CCR7 has been shown to control the migration of memory T cells to inflamed tissues, as well as stimulate dendritic cell maturation.

Human CCR8 mRNA encodes the human C-C motif chemokine receptor 8 (CCR8) protein, a member of the beta chemokine receptor family. CCR8 plays a role in regulation of monocyte chemotaxis and thymic cell apoptosis. More specifically, this receptor may contribute to the proper positioning of activated T cells within the antigenic challenge sites and specialized areas of lymphoid tissues.

Human CCR9 mRNA encodes the human C-C motif chemokine receptor 9 (CCR9) protein, a member of the beta chemokine receptor family. CCR9 plays a role in directing immune responses to different segments of the gastrointestinal tract.

Human CCRL2 mRNA encodes the human C-C motif chemokine receptor like 2 (CCRL2) protein, a chemokine receptor like protein. Chemokines and their receptors mediated signal transduction are critical for the recruitment of effector immune cells to the site of inflammation.
