Description
CCL14, also known as Hemofiltrate CC Chemokine-1 (HCC-1) is a small cytokine (~8kDa) that is constitutively expressed in multiple tissues. Upon processing of the N-terminal residues of full-length HCC-1 by the uPA-plasmin system, the active form of HCC-1 is a strong agonist for CCR1, CCR5, and, to a lesser extent, CCR3. CCL14 causes chemotaxis of different types of leukocytes, and its active form is a potent inhibitor of HIV entry
