Ferret CCL20 Recombinant Protein

CCL20, also known as liver activation regulated chemokine (LARC) or Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-3 (MIP3A) is a small cytokine belonging to the CC chemokine family. There are at least 27 distinct members of the C-C subgroup reported for mammals. They are characterized by two adjacent cysteines. CC chemokines induce the migration of monocytes and other cell types such as NK cells and dendritic cells. CCL20/LARC/MIP-3A is strongly chemotactic for lymphocytes. CCL20 elicits its effects on its target cells by binding and activating the chemokine receptor CCR6.
