Biological function summary
CCL17 acts as a chemotactic agent attracting specific immune cells especially T lymphocytes to inflammatory regions. This protein does not operate as part of a larger protein complex but engages directly by binding to receptors on the target immune cells. Localized expression of CCL17 increases in conditions where enhanced Th2 cell response is needed such as allergic or autoimmune responses.
Pathways
CCL17 plays a significant role in the cell signaling pathway called the chemokine signaling pathway. Through this pathway CCL17 interacts with the CCR4 receptor which helps mediate immune cell migration and adhesion. This interaction is critical for establishing the adaptive immune response. CCL17 and CCR4 support the trafficking of Th2 cells during immune reactions and pathogen defense.

General info
Function
Chemokine, which displays chemotactic activity for T lymphocytes, preferentially Th2 cells, but not monocytes or granulocytes. Therefore plays an important role in a wide range of inflammatory and immunological processes (PubMed : 8702936, PubMed : 9169480). Acts by binding to CCR4 at T-cell surface (PubMed : 10540332, PubMed : 9169480). Mediates GM-CSF/CSF2-driven pain and inflammation (PubMed : 27525438). In the brain, required to maintain the typical, highly branched morphology of hippocampal microglia under homeostatic conditions. May be important for the appropriate adaptation of microglial morphology and synaptic plasticity to acute lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced neuroinflammation (By similarity). Plays a role in wound healing, mainly by inducing fibroblast migration into the wound (By similarity).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the intercrine beta (chemokine CC) family.
