Human CCL24/Eotaxin-2 ELISA Kit PicoKine®

Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 24 (CCL24) also known as myeloid progenitor inhibitory factor 2 (MPIF-2) or eosinophil chemotactic protein 2 (eotaxin-2) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CCL24 gene. By use of PCR analysis of somatic cell hybrid DNAs, radiation hybrid mapping, and a chromosome 7-specific YAC library, mapped the SCYA24 gene to chromosome 7q11.23. CCL24 is a small cytokine belonging to the CC chemokine family. CCL24 interacts with chemokine receptor CCR3 to induce chemotaxis in eosinophils.3 This chemokine is also strongly chemotactic for resting T lymphocytes and slightly chemotactic for neutrophils.

C-C motif chemokine 24; CK-beta-6; Eosinophil chemotactic protein 2; Eotaxin-2; Myeloid progenitor inhibitory factor 2; MPIF-2; Small-inducible cytokine A24; CCL24; MPIF2, SCYA24

Chemotactic for resting T-lymphocytes, and eosinophils. Has lower chemotactic activity for neutrophils but none for monocytes and activated lymphocytes. Is a strong suppressor of colony formation by a multipotential hematopoietic progenitor cell line. Binds to CCR3.
