Recombinant Rat Eotaxin-2/CCL24 protein

• Background:

  CCL24, also named MPIF-2, Eotaxin-2 and Ckβ6, is a novel CC chemokine recently identified. It is a secreted protein, encoded by CCL24 gene, and produced by activated monocytes and T lymphocytes. CCL24 signals through the CCR3 receptor and has functions of chemotactic activity for resting T-lymphocytes and eosinophils, but none for monocytes and activated lymphocytes. The plasma levels of CCL24 and the aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (such as asthma) morbidity rate have positive correlation.

• Molecular Weight:

  Approximately 1.5 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of an N-terminal Methionine and the mature rat Eotaxin-2.

• CAS Number:

  9000-83-3
