Description
Cutaneous T-cell-attracting chemokine (CTACK/CCL27) is a ligand for cell surface receptor CCR10. It is responsible for chemotaxis of skin-homing memory T cells during cutaneous inflammation. Interestingly, after CCR10-mediated internalization, CTACK, as well as a non-secreted splice variant of the same gene, can reach the nucleus and modulate transcription and cell behavior
