Anti-MCP2 antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the MCP2 antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the CCL8 gene, which encodes C-C motif chemokine ligand 8. This protein is known to function in the transport of ions and cell to cell signaling, among other biological roles. The human version of MCP2 has a canonical amino acid length of 99 residues and a protein mass of 11.2 kilodaltons. It is reported to be a secreted protein. MCP2 is a member of the Intercrine beta (chemokine CC) protein family.
