ID:CCL13_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=C-C motif chemokine 13; AltName: Full=CK-beta-10; AltName: Full=Monocyte chemoattractant protein 4; AltName: Full=Monocyte chemotactic protein 4; Short=MCP-4; AltName: Full=NCC-1; AltName: Full=Small-inducible cytokine A13; Contains: RecName: Full=C-C motif chemokine 13, long chain; Contains: RecName: Full=C-C motif chemokine 13, medium chain; Contains: RecName: Full=C-C motif chemokine 13, short chain; Flags: Precursor; FUNCTION: Chemotactic factor that attracts monocytes, lymphocytes, basophils and eosinophils, but not neutrophils. Signals through CCR2B and CCR3 receptors. Plays a role in the accumulation of leukocytes at both sides of allergic and non-allergic inflammation. May be involved in the recruitment of monocytes into the arterial wall during the disease process of atherosclerosis. May play a role in the monocyte attraction in tissues chronically exposed to exogenous pathogens. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Widely expressed. Found in small intestine, thymus, colon, lung, trachea, stomach and lymph node. Low levels seen in the pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells. INDUCTION: By IL1/interleukin-1 and TNF. PTM: One major form (form long), and two minor forms (short chain and medium chain) are produced by differential signal peptide cleavage. The medium chain is about 30-fold less active than the long chain.

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the intercrine beta (chemokine CC) family. WEB RESOURCE: Name=Wikipedia; Note=CCL13 entry; URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CCL13";
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
