CCL25


Chemokine ligand 25 is a small cytokine belonging to the CC chemokine family that is also known as TECK. CCL25 is believed to play a role in the development of T-cells. It is chemotactic for thymocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. CCL25 elicits its effects by binding to the chemokine receptor CCR9. Human CCL25 is produced as a protein precursor containing 151 amino acids. The gene for CCL25 is located on human chromosome 19.
