Activity summary

MCP2 also known as CCL8 or monocyte chemoattractant protein-2 plays an important role in leukocyte trafficking. This chemokine has a molecular weight of approximately 8 kDa. CCL8 is expressed in various tissues including macrophages fibroblasts and endothelial cells and it is particularly high during inflammatory responses. The MCP2 protein attracts immune cells such as monocytes and T cells to sites of infection or injury.

Biological function summary

MCP2 influences the migration and activation of leukocytes enhancing the body's immune response. MCP2 interacts with chemokine receptors like CCR2 and CCR5 facilitating the movement of immune cells through tissues. This protein is not usually part of larger complexes but works closely with other chemokines to coordinate cellular responses during inflammation. MCP2 activity is important in processes that require rapid cell recruitment and immune surveillance.

Pathways

MCP2 functions within the chemokine signaling pathway and plays a significant part in the inflammatory response pathway. MCP2 closely interacts with chemokine receptors such as CCR2 which is also engaged by related chemokines like MCP1 (CCL2). MCP2 and MCP1 share functional similarities in modulating the immune response though they target different receptor profiles that expand their influence across numerous immune processes.

Associated diseases and disorders

MCP2 is associated with inflammatory diseases and certain types of cancer. Rheumatoid arthritis shows heightened levels of MCP2 contributing to the persistent inflammation characteristic of the disorder. Elevated MCP2 levels have also been noticed in tumor microenvironments suggesting a role in cancer metastasis where it might interact with proteins such as IL-6 to promote the survival and migration of tumor cells.
