Description / human MIP-4 (CCL18) protein
MIP-4 is a CC chemokine that is expressed in lymph nodes, lungs, placenta and bone marrow. MIP-4’s primary receptor is unknown. MIP-4 chemoattracts lymphocytes, and has been shown to exert activity on both CD4+and CD8+ T cells. Recombinant human MIP-4 is a 7.8 kDa protein containing 68 amino acid residues, including the four highly conserved cysteine residues present in CC chemokines.
