Recombinant Human C-C motif chemokine 18 (CCL18)

Uniprot Id

P55774

Target Species

Human

Target Name

CCL18

Target Full Name

C-C motif chemokine 18

Target Function

Chemotactic factor that attracts lymphocytes but not monocytes or granulocytes. May be involved in B-cell migration into B-cell follicles in lymph nodes. Attracts naive T-lymphocytes toward dendritic cells and activated macrophages in lymph nodes, has chemotactic activity for naive T-cells, CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells and thus may play a role in both humoral and cell-mediated immunity responses.

Target Subcellular Location

Secreted.

Target Protein Families

Intercrine beta (chemokine CC) family

Target Tissue Specificity

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 mono

Target Research Area

Immunology
