CCL20 Antibody

Beta chemokine exodus-1; Beta-chemokine exodus-1; CC chemokine LARC; C-C motif chemokine 20; chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 20; CKb4; Exodus; LARC; liver and activation-regulated chemokine; macrophage inflammatory protein 3 alpha; MIP-3a; MIP3A; MIP-3-alpha; SCYA20; small inducible cytokine subfamily A (Cys-Cys), member 20; small-inducible cytokine A20; ST38.

Acts as a ligand for C-C chemokine receptor CCR6. Signals through binding and activation of CCR6 and induces a strong chemotactic response and mobilization of intracellular calcium ions (PubMed:11352563, PubMed:11035086, PubMed:20068036) . The ligand-receptor pair CCL20-CCR6 is responsible for the chemotaxis of dendritic cells (DC), effector/memory T-cells and B-cells and plays an important role at skin and mucosal surfaces under homeostatic and inflammatory conditions, as well as in pathology, including cancer and various autoimmune diseases (PubMed:21376174) . CCL20 acts as a chemotactic factor that attracts lymphocytes and, slightly, neutrophils, but not monocytes (PubMed:9038201, PubMed:11352563) . Involved in the recruitment of both the proinflammatory IL17 producing helper T-cells (Th17) and the regulatory T-cells (Treg) to sites of inflammation. Required for optimal migration of thymic natural regulatory T cells (nTregs) and DN1 early thymocyte progenitor cells (By similarity) . C-terminal processed forms have been shown to be equally chemotactically active for leukocytes (PubMed:11035086) . Positively regulates sperm motility and chemotaxis via its binding to CCR6 which triggers Ca2+ mobilization in the sperm which is important for its motility (PubMed:23765988, PubMed:25122636) . Inhibits proliferation of myeloid progenitors in colony formation assays (PubMed:9129037) . May be involved in formation and function of the mucosal lymphoid tissues by attracting lymphocytes and dendritic cells towards epithelial cells (By similarity) . Possesses antibacterial activity towards E.coli ATCC 25922 and S.aureus ATCC 29213 (PubMed:12149255) .
