Monocyte chemoattractant protein
FunctionMonocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP) belongs to the superfamily of chemokines, which are proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The superfamily can be subdivided into 4 smaller groups, depending on the N-ter arangment of the cysteines. The MCP-1[1] is also known as chemokine (C-C motif) ligand or CCL2 or: - small inducible cytokine A2 (SCYA2) - MCAF - GDCF-2 - SMC-CF - HSMCR30 - MGC9434 - GDCF-2 - HC11. DiseaseCCL2 is implicated in several diseases like psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis and atherosclerosis. RelevanceCCL2 is overexpressed in epilepsy, brain ischemia, Alzheimer's disease, EAE and traumatic brain injury. Structural highlightsCCL2 is part of the C-C motif group because of the covalent bond made between 2 of the 4 cysteines of the N terminal domain.[2]
