CCL3

C-C motif chemokine ligand 3

ENTREZID: 6348 | Type: NA | Map: 17q12

OMIM: 300335


Summary Entrez
This locus represents a small inducible cytokine. The encoded protein, also known as macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha, plays a role in inflammatory responses through binding to the receptors CCR1, CCR4 and CCR5. Polymorphisms at this locus may be associated with both resistance and susceptibility to infection by human immunodeficiency virus type 1.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010]
