Background
Macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC), also known as C-C motif chemokine 22 (CCL22), CC chemokine STCP-1, small-inducible cytokine A22, or stimulated T-cell chemotactic protein 1, is a member of the CC chemokine family. MDC is a 69 amino acid (aa) small chemokine. It shares less than 35% aa sequence identity with other human chemokines and is 65% identical to the apparent mouse homolog, ABCD-1 (Activated B cell and dendritic cell-1). MDC is constitutively expressed in dendritic cells, B lymphocytes, and macrophages, while it is inducible in NK cells, monocytes, and CD4+ T lymphocytes in response to stimuli of IL-4 and IL-13.
MDC is a ligand for the G protein-coupled chemokine receptor CCR4. MDC exhibits chemotactic activity in macrophages and dendritic cells which show little or no CCR4 expression, suggesting that alternate receptor(s) occur.
