Background
CCL8 (chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 8), also known as monocyte chemoattractant protein 2 (MCP-2), HC14 or small-inducible cytokine A8, is a small protein belonging to the CC chemokine family. The CCL8 gene encodes a 109 amino acid (aa) precursor containing a 34aa signal peptide and a 75aa mature protein. Mature human MCP-2 shares 62% and 58% amino acid sequence identity with MCP-1 and MCP-3, respectively. MCP-2 exhibits chemotactic activity in many different immune cells, including mast cells, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, T cells, and NK cells. CCL8 binds to several different cell surface receptors, such as CCR1, CCR2B and CCR5 to trigger a series of cellular processes. An N-terminal truncated form MCP-2(6-76), produced by proteolytic cleavage after secretion from peripheral blood monocytes, has lost monocyte chemotactic activity, but inhibits the chemotactic effect of CCL2, CCL5, CCL7 and CCL8.
