Human CCL3 Protein, His tag (Animal-Free)

C-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 3 (CCL3) is a 7.33Da cytokine with 66 amino acid residues. CCL3 is also called macrophage inflammatory protein 1-alpha (MIP-1-alpha) and is expressed in bone marrow and liver. Upon binding to the receptor, CCR1, CCR4, or CCR5, CCL3 plays an essential role in acute inflammatory responses like recruitment and activation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and induction of monophasic fever. In addition, CCL3 participates in resistance to type 1 virus infection, mediation of MAPK signaling pathway, cell-cell signaling, and calcium-mediated signaling.
