CCL25
Function
Potentially involved in T-cell development. Recombinant protein shows chemotactic activity on thymocytes, macrophages, THP-1 cells, and dendritics cells but is inactive on peripheral blood lymphocytes and neutrophils. Binds to CCR9. Isoform 2 is an antagonist of isoform 1. Binds to atypical chemokine receptor ACKR4 and mediates the recruitment of beta-arrestin (ARRB1/2) to ACKR4.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the intercrine beta (chemokine CC) family.
Tissue Specificity
Specifically expressed by thymic dendritic cells. High levels in thymus and small intestine.
Cellular localization
- Secreted
