Research Area: Cytokine, chemotaxis

Background:

Macrophage/monocyte chemotactic protein-3 (MCP-3), like other two closely related chemokines (MCP1 and MCP-2), is chemotactic to monocytes, but not to neutrophils. MCP-3 showed 78% sequence homology with MCP-1 and 58% sequence homology with MCP-2.  The primary receptor for MCP-3 is D6.  MCP-3 also competes with MCP-1 to bind toCCR10, and competes with Rantes and MIP-1α to bind toCCR1. 

MCP-3 stimulates macrophage to secrete proteases.  A variety of cancer cell lines express MCP-3, suggesting a role in tumor invasion and metastasia.

Applications: 

Western Blot: This antibody concentration of 0.5-2μg/mL will allow visualization of 0.1μg/lane of human MCP-3.
