Protein attributes

Sequence length	98 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is further processed into a mature form.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Chemotactic factor that attracts monocytes, lymphocytes, basophils and eosinophils, but not neutrophils. Signals through CCR2B and CCR3 receptors. Plays a role in the accumulation of leukocytes at both sides of allergic and non-allergic inflammation. May be involved in the recruitment of monocytes into the arterial wall during the disease process of atherosclerosis. May play a role in the monocyte attraction in tissues chronically exposed to exogenous pathogens.
Subcellular location	Secreted.
Tissue specificity	Widely expressed. Found in small intestine, thymus, colon, lung, trachea, stomach and lymph node. Low levels seen in the pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells.
Induction	By IL1/interleukin-1 and TNF.
Post-translational modification	One major form (form long), and two minor forms (short chain and medium chain) are produced by differential signal peptide cleavage. The medium chain is about 30-fold less active than the long chain.
Miscellaneous	This protein can bind heparin.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the intercrine beta (chemokine CC) family.
Mass spectrometry	Molecular mass is 9314±30 Da from positions 17 - 98. Determined by MALDI. Ref.3 Molecular mass is 8760±30 Da from positions 22 - 98. Determined by MALDI. Ref.3 Molecular mass is 8575±30 Da from positions 24 - 98. Determined by MALDI. Ref.3
