CCL26

Function

Chemoattractant for eosinophils and basophils (PubMed:10415065, PubMed:10488147). Acts as a ligand for C-C chemokine receptor CCR3 which triggers Ca(2+) mobilization in eosinophils (PubMed:10415065, PubMed:10488147, PubMed:11425309). Also acts as a ligand for CX3C chemokine receptor CX3CR1, inducing cell chemotaxis (PubMed:20974991).

Sequence Similarities

Belongs to the intercrine beta (chemokine CC) family.

Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitously expressed at low levels in various tissues including heart and ovary.

Cellular localization
