Exodus-2, Mouse Recombinant

Exodus-2, also known as CCL21 and 6Ckine, is a novel chemokine produced at high levels in human lymph node tissue and the spleen. 6Ckine signals through the CCR7 receptor to recruit thymocytes and activated T cells in vitro, but is not known to be chemotactic for monocytes. Human and mouse Exodus-2 share > 85% amino acid homology. Recombinant mouse Exodus-2 is a nonglycosylated protein, containing 110 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 12 kDa.
