Background
CCL17, also known as thymus and activation regulated chemokine (TARC), or small-inducible cytokine A17, is a small protein of the CC chemokine family. CCL17 is expressed primarily in thymus and at low levels in the lung, colon and small intestine. CCL17 is a ligand for the chemokine receptor CCR4, which is expressed on PBMCs and human T-cell lines but has not yet found on B cells, NK cells, or granulocytes. CCL17 is the closest homolog of Macrophage-Derived Chemokine (MDC) in the CC chemokine family. MDC competes with CCL17 for binding to CCR4. CCL17 also binds to the chemokine receptor CCR8. Expression of CCR4 and CCR8 is transiently up-regulated on activated T cells, preferentially on the Th2 subset. The chemotactic effects of CCL17 in T cells make it an important biomarker for allergic diseases such as atopic dermatitis, allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, and allergic contact dermatitis. CCL17 also has been detected in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
