CCL15

This gene, CCL15, is one of several CC cytokine genes clustered on 17q11.2. The CC cytokines are secreted proteins characterized by two adjacent cysteines. The cytokine encoded by this gene is chemotactic for T cells and monocytes and induces N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase release in monocytes. It induces changes in intracellular calcium concentration in monocytes and is thought to act through the CCR1 receptor. Read-through transcripts are expressed that include exons from the downstream cytokine gene CCL14, and are represented as GeneID: 348249. [provided by RefSeq]

chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 15

Chemotactic factor that attracts T-cells and monocytes, but not neutrophils, eosinophils, or B-cells. Acts mainly via CC chemokine receptor CCR1. Also binds to CCR3. CCL15(22-92), CCL15(25-92) and CCL15(29-92) are more potent chemoattractants than the small-inducible cytokine A15.
