Recombinant Human C-C motif chemokine 3 (CCL3)

Uniprot Id

P10147

Target Species

Human

Target Name

CCL3

Target Full Name

C-C motif chemokine 3

Target Function

Monokine with inflammatory and chemokinetic properties. Binds to CCR1, CCR4 and CCR5. One of the major HIV-suppressive factors produced by CD8+ T-cells. Recombinant MIP-1-alpha induces a dose-dependent inhibition of different strains of HIV-1, HIV-2, and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV).

Target Subcellular Location

Secreted.

Target Protein Families

Intercrine beta (chemokine CC) family

Target Background

This locus represents a small inducible cytokine. The encoded protein, also known as macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha, plays a role in inflammatory responses through binding to the receptors CCR1, CCR4 and CCR5. Polymorphisms at this locus may be associated with both resistance and susceptibility to infection by human immunodeficiency virus type 1.
