CCL7

Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 7 (CCL7) is a small cytokine known as a chemokine that was previously called monocyte-chemotactic protein 3 (MCP3). Due to CCL7 possessing two adjacent N-terminal cysteine residues in its mature protein, it is classified among the subfamily of chemokines known as CC chemokines. CCL7 specifically attracts monocytes, and regulates macrophage function . It is produced by certain tumor cell lines and by macrophages.[3] This chemokine is located on chromosome 17 in humans, in a large cluster containing many other CC chemokines[4] and is most closely related to CCL2 (previously called MCP1).

Interactions

CCL7 has been shown to interact with MMP2.[5] It binds to the CCR2 receptor.

gollark: Well, you could understand it if you learned about it, I expect.
gollark: μ is the mean (average, ish) of a random variable. σ, as I said, is standard deviation, which is sort of like the average distance of samples from that random variable from the mean μ.
gollark: Not really.
gollark: I don't think you understood this correctly.
gollark: That is not specific to physics. The numbers are the probability of a random sample lying within that region. The μ and μ+σ and such are saying mean + n standard deviations.
