Purity ~99% (RP-HPLC, SDS-PAGE). Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 14 (CCL14) is a small cytokine belonging to the CC chemokine family. It is also commonly known as HCC-1. It is produced as a protein precursort hat is procesed to generate a mature active protein containing 74 amino acids that and is 46% identical in amino acid composition to CCL3and CCL4. This chemokine is expressed in various tissues including spleen, bone marrow, liver, muscle, and gut. CCL13 activates monocytes, but does not induce their chemotaxis. Human CCL13 is located on chromosome 17 within a cluster of other chemokines belonging to the CC family. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 74aa from human CCL14, expressed in E. coli. Molecular Weight: ~8.4kD Biological Activity: Calculated by its ability to chemoattract human monocytes at 5-20ng/ml.
