| Alternative Name | C-C motif chemokine 16, Chemokine CC-4, HCC-4, Chemokine LEC, IL-10-inducible chemokine, LCC-1, Liver-expressed chemokine, Lymphocyte and monocyte chemoattractant, Monotactin-1, MNT-1, NCC-4, Small-inducible cytokine A16, CCL16, ILINCK, NCC4, SCYA16 |
| Species | Human |
| Source | E. coli |
| Description | CCL16 is a CC chemokine that specifically attracts lymphocytes, dendritic cells, and monocytes; increases their adhesive properties and has myelosuppressive activity. It is constitutively expressed in liver and is increased by interleukin 10 (IL-10) in activated monocytes. CCL16 is present in human plasma suggesting that it may be active outside hepatic tissue. CCR1, CCR2, CCR5, and CCR8 are the functional receptors of this chemokine. |
| Accession | O15467 |
| Functions | Determined by its ability to chemoattract human monocytes using a concentration range of 2.0-40 ng/mL. |
| Formulation | Recombinant HCC-4 was lyophilized from a 0.2 ?m filtered 20 mM PB, 100 mM NaCl solution pH 7.5. |
| Solubility | A quick spin of the vial followed by reconstitution in distilled water to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers. |
| Appearance | Lyophilized Powder |
| Molecular Weight | 11 |
| Purity | >95% as determined by SDS-PAGE |
| Concentration | <1.0 EU/μg of recombinant protein as determined by the LAL method. |
| Shipping Condition | Ambient Temperature |
| Storage Condition | The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70?C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2? - 8?C for one month, or at -20?C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. |
