Description
CCL20, also known as Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-3 (MIP3A), is a small cytokine belonging to the CC chemokine family. CCL20 protein is strongly chemotactic for lymphocytes and weakly attracts neutrophils. It is implicated in the formation and function of mucosal lymphoid tissues via chemoattraction of lymphocytes and dendritic cells towards the epithelial cells surrounding these tissues
