RANTES Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

• Background :

  This gene is one of several chemokine genes clustered on the q-arm of chromosome 17. Chemokines form a superfamily of secreted proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The superfamily is divided into four subfamilies based on the arrangement of the N-terminal cysteine residues of the mature peptide. This chemokine, a member of the CC subfamily, functions as a chemoattractant for blood monocytes, memory T helper cells and eosinophils. It causes the release of histamine from basophils and activates eosinophils. This cytokine is one of the major HIV-suppressive factors produced by CD8+ cells. It functions as one of the natural ligands for the chemokine receptor chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 5 (CCR5), and it suppresses in vitro replication of the R5 strains of HIV-1, which use CCR5 as a coreceptor. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encodefunction:Chemoattractant for blood monocytes, memory T-helper cells and eosinophils. Causes the release of histamine from basophils and activates eosinophils. Binds to CCR1, CCR3, CCR4 and CCR5. One of the major HIV-suppressive factors produced by CD8+ T-cells. Recombinant RANTES protein induces a dose-dependent inhibition of different strains of HIV-1, HIV-2, and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) . The processed form RANTES (3-68) acts as a natural chemotaxis inhibitor and is a more potent inhibitor of HIV-1-infection. The second processed form RANTES (4-68) exhibits reduced chemotactic and HIV-suppressive activity compared with RANTES (1-68) and RANTES (3-68) and is generated by an unidentified enzyme associated with monocytes and neutrophils., induction:By mitogens., mass spectrometry: PubMed:1380064, mass spectrometry: PubMed:15923218, mass spectrometry:O-glycosylated PubMed:1380064, online information:RANTES entry, polymorphism:The variant Phe-24 is an antagonist of the chemokine receptors CCR1 and CCR3., PTM:N-terminal processed form RANTES (3-68) is produced by proteolytic cleavage, probably by DPP4, after secretion from peripheral blood leukocytes and cultured sarcoma cells., PTM:The identity of the O-linked saccharides at Ser-27 and Ser-28 are not reported in PubMed:1380064. They are assigned by similarity., similarity:Belongs to the intercrine beta (chemokine CC) family., tissue specificity:T-cell and macrophage specific.
