Cytokines M-Z

ATK - Family of serine/threonine kinases

CCL1 (I309, TCA3) - Expressed by endothelial cells, monocytes, and other lymphocytes

CCL11 (EOTAXIN) - Pro-inflamitory and imunomodulatory

CCL2 (MCP-1, JE) - Chemoattracts monocytes and macrophages, pro-inflamitory

CCL3 (MIP-1a) - Macrophage inflamitory protein, induces IL6 production

CCL4 (MIP-1b) - Macrophage inflamitory protein, 60% sequence similarity to CCL3

CCL5 (RANTES) - Heavily upregulated durring viral infection

CCL7 (MCP-3) - Recruites monocyte lineages to sites of inflamation

CCL8 (MCP-2) - Aids in promoting chemotaxis in myeloid cells

Chemokine Receptors
