Description
Hemofiltrate CC chemokine-1(HCC-1/CCL14) is endogeneously expressed by numerous tissues. Upon processing of the N terminal residues of the full length HCC-1 by the uPA-plasmin system, the active form of HCC-1 (made by ChemoTactics) is a strong agonist for CCR1, CCR5 and to a lesser extent CCR3, and causes chemotaxis of different types of leukocytes. The active form of HCC-1 is also shown as a potent inhibitor of HIV entry
