Description
Product Characteristics:
This protein belongs to the subfamily of small cytokine CC proteins. Cytokines are a family of secreted proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The CC cytokines are proteins characterized by two adjacent cysteines. This cytokine displays chemotactic activity for resting CD4 or CD8 T cells and eosinophils and binds to chemokine receptors CCR3 and CCR10. It induces calcium mobilization in a dose-dependent manner. This chemokine may play a role in the physiology of extracutaneous epithelial tissues, including diverse mucosal organs.
Subcellular location: Nucleus
Synonyms: AKAP8, A-kinase Anchoring Protein 95, CCK 1, CCK1, CCL 28, Chemokine C-C mot ligand 28, MEC, Mucosae associated epithelial chemokine, SCYA28, Small inducible cytokine A28, AKP8L_HUMAN.
Target Information: This gene encodes a member of the A-kinase anchor protein family. A-kinase anchor proteins are scaffold proteins that contain a binding domain for the RI/RII subunit of protein kinase A (PKA) and recruit PKA and other signaling molecules to specific subcellular locations. This gene encodes a nuclear A-kinase anchor protein that binds to the RII alpha subunit of PKA and may play a role in chromosome condensation during mitosis by targeting PKA and the condensin complex to chromatin. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 9. [provided by RefSeq, May 2011]
