CCL-2

• Description :

  Mouse CCL2 is a member of the β (CC) subfamily of chemokines. The mouse CCL2 gene was initially identified as a plateletderived growth factorinducible gene in mouse fibroblasts. Mouse CCL2 cDNA encodes a 148 amino acid (aa) residue with a putative 23 aa signal peptide that is cleaved to generate the mature protein. Mouse CCL2 shares 82% amino acid sequence identity with rat CCL2. Mouse CCL2 also shares 55% amino acid sequence identity with human MCP1. Compared to human MCP1, mouse CCL2 has a 49 aa residue extension at the carboxyterminus. When a DNA sequence encoding the 125 aa residue of the mature CCL2 protein was expressed in E. coli at R&D Systems, the purified protein had the predicted N-terminus but a mass of 8525 Da. The truncation of most of the C terminal extension could be due either to purification artifact or to posttranslational modification. The truncated recombinant CCL2 has a potency similar to that of human MCP1 in the monocyte chemotaxis assay. Mouse CCL2 has full activity on human cells while human MCP1 has limited activity on mouse cells.
