Synonyms
SCYA11 Protein, Human; Small-inducible cytokine A11
Description
Human CCL11 is belonging to the CC chemokine family. It is encoded by the gene CCL11. CCL11 was first purified from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of guinea pigs. It was a strong and specific eosinophil chemoattractant in vitro. It can directly chemotactic for eosinophils, but not for monocytes or neutrophils. Human CCL11 is approximately 63 % identical at the amino acid level to murine CCL11. In addition, CCL11 also shows about 60 % amino acid sequence identity to human MCPs. CCR3 has been identified to be a specific CCL11 receptor.
