Chemokine (C-C Motif) Ligand 7 (CCL7) (Active) protein
Description
Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-3 (MCP3) and CCL7 are two monocyte chemotactic proteins produced by human MG63 osteosarcoma cells. Both MCP3 and CCL7 are members of the CC family of chemokines and share 62% and 71% amino acid sequence identity, respectively, with MCP1. CCL7 also shares 58% amino acid identity with MCP3.Similarly to other CC chemokines, all three MCP proteins are monocyte chemoattractants. In addition, the three MCPs can chemoattract activated NK cells as well as CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes. All three cytokines have also been shown to attract eosinophils and induce histamine secretion from basophils.Synonyms: C-C motif chemokine 7, Monocyte chemoattractant protein 3, Monocyte chemotactic protein 3, MCP-3, Small-inducible cytokine A7, Ccl7, Mcp3, Scya7.
