This antimicrobial gene belongs to the subfamily of small cytokine CC genes. Cytokines are a family of secreted proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The CC cytokines are proteins characterized by two adjacent cysteines. The cytokine encoded by this gene displays chemotactic activity for dendritic cells, thymocytes, and activated macrophages but is inactive on peripheral blood lymphocytes and neutrophils. The product of this gene binds to chemokine receptor CCR9. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
This gene is one of two Cys-Cys (CC) cytokine genes clustered on the q arm of chromosome 7. Cytokines are a family of secreted proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The CC cytokines are proteins characterized by two adjacent cysteines. The cytokine encoded by this gene displays chemotactic activity for normal peripheral blood eosinophils and basophils. The product of this gene is one of three related chemokines that specifically activate chemokine receptor CCR3. This chemokine may contribute to the eosinophil accumulation in atopic diseases.
CCL27/CTACK, also known as CTACK, is a small cytokine belonging to the CC chemokine family. Members of this family are proteins characterized by two adjacent cysteines. CCL27/CTACK is chemotactic for skin-associated memory T lymphocytes. CCL27/CTACK may also play a role in mediating homing of lymphocytes to cutaneous sites. CCL27/CTACK plays a pivotal role in establishing the inflammatory infiltrate characteristic for common inflammatory skin diseases. Throμgh binding to the chemokine receptor 1 (CCR1), CCL27/CTACK mediates inflammation by promoting lymphocyte migration into the skin.
Human Chemokine (C-C Motif) Ligand 27 (CCL27) is a small cytokine that is a member of the CC chemokine family; it is expressed in numerous tissues, including gonads, thymus, placenta and skin. CCL27 elicits its chemotactic effects by binding to the chemokine receptor CCR10. Predominantly expressed in the skin, CCL27 is associated with T cell-mediated inflammation of the skin. Human and Mouse CCL27 share 84% sequence identity in the mature form.
