Exodus-2/CCL21 Protein, Human (sf9)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

Exodus-2/CCL21 Protein, Human (sf9) is a homeostatic lymphoid chemokine that contributes to the entry of T cells and dendritic cells into the lymphoid T-zone. It acts through chemokine receptors CCR7 and CXCR3 to promote fibrogenic and inflammatory cytokine production. Exodus-2/CCL21 Protein, Human (sf9) is a recombinant human Exodus-2/CCL21 (S24-P134) expressed by Sf9 insect cells.

Description

Exodus-2/CCL21 Protein, Human (sf9) is a homeostatic lymphoid chemokine that contributes to the entry of T cells and dendritic cells into the lymphoid T-zone. It acts through chemokine receptors CCR7 and CXCR3 to promote fibrogenic and inflammatory cytokine production. Exodus-2/CCL21 Protein, Human (sf9) is a recombinant human Exodus-2/CCL21 (S24-P134) expressed by Sf9 insect cells[1].

Background

CCL21, also known as exodus-2 and secondary lymphoid chemokine (SLC), is a small cytokine belonging to the CC chemokine family and is located on chromosome 9 in the human genome. It binds to glycosaminoglycan (GAG) and is anchored to the surface of endothelial cells. As a chemokine, CCL21 inhibits hematopoiesis and stimulates chemotaxis, and is chemotactic in vitro for thymocytes and activated T cells, but not for B cells, macrophages or neutrophils. At the same time, CCL21 is a potent stimulator of T cell migration and adhesion, binding to the glycoprotein PSGL-1 on T cells to promote the migration of T cells to secondary lymphoid organs. CCL21 can act through chemokine receptors CCR7 and CXCR3. Among them, CCR7 is a GPCR that is normally expressed by T cell subsets central memory cells, thymic T cells, B cells, mature DCs and other rare cell subsets. ccl21 can function as a microglia activator in the CNS and is expressed exclusively in endangered or mechanically damaged neurons[1][2].

In Vivo

CCL21(.1 µg/mL, 2 h) can interact with polysialic acid to regulate the migratory capacity of human dendritic cells[3].

Verified Bioactivity

Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized Exodus-2/CCL21 Protein, Human (sf9) at 2 μg/mL (100 μl/well) can bind human IGFBP7 with a linear range of 0.16-4 μg/mL.
