Expression:
P13500 CCL2_HUMAN:

Description:
This gene is one of several cytokine genes clustered on the q-arm of chromosome 17. Cytokines are a family of secreted proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The protein encoded by this gene is structurally related to the CXC subfamily of cytokines. Members of this subfamily are characterized by two cysteines separated by a single amino acid. This cytokine displays chemotactic activity for monocytes and basophils but not for neutrophils or eosinophils. It has been implicated in the pathogenesis of diseases characterized by monocytic infiltrates, like psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis and atherosclerosis. It binds to chemokine receptors CCR2 and CCR4.

Research Backgrounds

Function:

Acts as a ligand for C-C chemokine receptor CCR2. Signals through binding and activation of CCR2 and induces a strong chemotactic response and mobilization of intracellular calcium ions. Exhibits a chemotactic activity for monocytes and basophils but not neutrophils or eosinophils. May be involved in the recruitment of monocytes into the arterial wall during the disease process of atherosclerosis.

PTMs:

Processing at the N-terminus can regulate receptor and target cell selectivity. Deletion of the N-terminal residue converts it from an activator of basophil to an eosinophil chemoattractant.

N-Glycosylated.

Subcellular Location:

Secreted.

Extracellular region or secreted Cytosol Plasma membrane Cytoskeleton Lysosome Endosome Peroxisome ER Golgi apparatus Nucleus Mitochondrion Manual annotation Automatic computational assertionSubcellular location
Tissue Specificity:

Expressed in the seminal plasma, endometrial fluid and follicular fluid (at protein level). Expressed in monocytes.

Subunit Structure:

Monomer or homodimer; in equilibrium. Is tethered on endothelial cells by glycosaminoglycan (GAG) side chains of proteoglycans.

Family&Domains:

Belongs to the intercrine beta (chemokine CC) family.

FIGURE 5 | CD47 deficiency enhances HFD-induced inflammation and monocyte/macrophage infiltration in the liver. (A–E) Relative mRNA levels of IL-1β (A), IL-6(B), IL-10 (C), TNFα (D), and C-C motif ligand 2 (CCL2) (E). Gene expression levels were determined by quantitative real-time PCR and normalized to β-actin (n = 4 per group). Data are presented as mean ± SD. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; and ****P < 0.0001. (F) Liver sections were immunohistochemistry (IHC)-stained for CCL2. Six samples per group were examined, and representative images are shown (scale bar represents 20 µm).
