CCL27 Polyclonal Antibody

This gene is one of several CC cytokine genes clustered on the p-arm of chromosome 9. Cytokines are a family of secreted proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The CC cytokines are proteins characterized by two adjacent cysteines. The protein encoded by this gene is chemotactic for skin-associated memory T lymphocytes. This cytokine may also play a role in mediating homing of lymphocytes to cutaneous sites. It specifically binds to chemokine receptor 10 (CCR10). Studies of a similar murine protein indicate that these protein-receptor interactions have a pivotal role in T cell-mediated skin inflammation. CCL27 (C-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 27) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with CCL27 include Dermatitis and Atopic Dermatitis. Among its related pathways are Peptide ligand-binding receptors and PEDF Induced Signaling. GO annotations related to this gene include chemokine activity. An important paralog of this gene is CCL28.
