RecombinantMCP-5/CCL12, Mouse

Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-5 (MCP-5), also known as Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 12 (CCL12), is a small cytokine belonging to the CC chemokine family that has been characterized in mice. Due to its similarity with human chemokine MCP-1, sometimes it is called MCP-1-related chemokine. MCP-5 specifically attracts eosinophils, monocytes and lymphocytes.It can signal through the CCR2 receptor.Recombinant Mouse MCP-5/CCL1 produced in CHO cells is a polypeptide chain containing 82 amino acids. A fully biologically active molecule, rmMCP-5/CCL12 has a molecular mass of 11 kDa analyzed by reducing SDS-PAGE and is obtained by chromatographic techniques at GenScript.
