Biochem/physiol Actions

Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 4 (CCL4) is a principal regulator of macrophage migration and signals through CCR5. CCR5 is linked to several protein kinases including the src kinase Lyn, PI3K, focal adhesion related kinase Pyk2 and members of the MAPK family that help in regulating macrophage chemotaxis. CCL4 is released at the site of inflammation in sarcoidosis.

General description

MIP-1β (macrophage inflammatory protein 1β) is a member of the CC chemokine (cysteine-cysteine) family, and is produced by monocytes and macrophages. This protein exists as a homodimer. It acts as a ligand to the GPCR (G-protein coupled receptor) called CCR5 (CC chemokine receptor 5).
