Recombinant Rat MCP-1 (CCL2) Protein

The MCP proteins belong to the CC chemokine family, and signal through CCR2 and, with the exception of MCP-1, other CCR receptors. The MCP proteins chemoattract and activate monocytes, activated T cells, basophils, NK cells, and immature dendritic cells. The MCP family cross reacts across species. Recombinant rat MCP-1 is a 14.0 kDa protein containing 125 amino acid residues including the four highly conserved cysteine residues present in the CC chemokines.
