Description | This product was Protein-A purified from monospecific antiserum by chromatography. This antibody is specific for swine CCL3L1 protein. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with CCL3L1 from bovine sources based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Partial reactivity is expected against CCL3L1 from cat, dog, human, chimpanzee, baboon, bovine, and rat based on greater than 90% sequence homology. Cross-reactivity with CCL3L1 from other sources has not been determined. Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 3-like 1 (CCL3L1), also known as macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha (MIP-1 alpha; other synonyms: ld78beta, scya3l1, small inducible cytokine a3-like 1), is a member of the CC or beta chemokine subfamily that was originally purified from the conditioned media of an LPS-stimulated murine macrophage cell line. In humans, CCL3L1 is encoded by a variable copy-number gene. The CC family induces MCP1 and RANTES, and exhibits a variety of proinflammatory activities including chemotaxis, and functional and proliferative activation of leukocytes, lymphocytes, and macrophages. Its signal is transmitted through transmembrane receptors, CC chemokine receptors, CCR1, CCR3 and CCR5.CCL3L1/MIP-1 alpha acts as a chemoattractant to a variety of cells including monocytes, T cells, B cells and eosinophils. CCL3L1 binds to several chemokine receptors. In humans these receptors include chemokine binding protein 2 and chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 5 (CCR5). CCR5 is a co-receptor for HIV, and binding of this protein to CCR5 inhibits HIV entry. In swine, CCL3L1 protein is 86% similar to CCL4 protein, and 73% similar to CCL5. |
