Mouse CCL2 protein , His tag (Animal-Free)

C-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 2 (CCL2) is a 13.88 kDa cytokine with 125 amino acid residues and is also known as monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP1) . CCL2 is mainly secreted from monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. It regulates many biological functions, such as recruitments of monocytes, memory T cells, eosinophils, and dendritic cells, extravasation of helper T cells, response to TNFα and IFNγ, and angiogenesis. In addition, upon binding with CCR4, it initiates leukocyte migration response to inflammation.

Product Specifications

Background

C-C motif chemokine 2 (CCL2) is a member of C-C or β chemokine family. There is 82% amino acid (aa) identity between mouse CCL2 and rat CCL2, and 58%, 56%, 55%, 53% and 53% aa identity with human, horse, pig, cow and dog CCL2, respectively. Fibroblasts, glioma cells, smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells, lymphocytes and mononuclear phagocytes can produce CCL2 constitutively or under mitogenic stimulation, but monocytes and macrophages seem to be the main sources. In addition to its chemotactic activity, CCL2 also induces monocytes, NK cells and lymphocytes to release enzymes and cytokines, and basophils expressing its receptor CCR2 to release histamine. CCL2-mediated recruitment of monocytes to inflammatory sites is considered to play a role in the pathology of atherosclerosis, multiple sclerosis and allergic asthma.
