Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 4, also known as CCL4, is a protein which in mouse is encoded by the CCL4 gene. It is a CC chemokine with specificity for CCR5 receptors. It is a chemoattractant for natural killer cells, monocytes and a variety of other immune cells. CCL4 is a major HIV-suppressive factor produced by CD8+ T cells. Performing-low memory CD8+ T cells that normally synthesize MIP-1-beta. By analysis of somatic cell hybrids and by in situ hybridization, the CCL4 gene was assigned to 17q21-q23. Based on functional analysis of MIP-1β, one or more additional β chemokine receptors that transduce MIP-1β signals must also exist. MIP-1α and MIP-1β have been shown to lack affinity for the erythrocyte surface chemokine receptor/Duffy antigen that binds many α as well as β chemokines (11, 14). - See more at: http://www.avivasysbio.com/sd/tds/html_datasheet.php?sku=OKBB00467
