Chemokines are a family of small chemotactic cytokines, or proteins secreted by cells. Chemokines share the same structure similarities such as small size, and the presence of four cysteine residues in conserved locations in order to form their 3-dimensional shape. Some of the chemokines are considered pro-inflammatory which can be induced to recruit cells of the immune system to a site of infection during an immune response, while others are considered homeostatic and are implied in controlling the migration of cells during normal processes of tissue maintenance and development. There are four members of the chemokine family: C-C kemokines, C kemokines, CXC kemokines and CX3C kemokines. The C-C kemokines have two cysteines nearby the amino terminus. There have been at least 27 distinct members of this subgroup reported for mammals, called C-C chemokine ligands-1 to 28. Chemokine ligand 21(CCL21), also known as 6Ckine, exodus-2, and secondary lymphoid-tissue chemokine(SLC), is a small cytokine belonging to the C-C chemokine family. CCL21 takes its name 6Ckine for its consititutively six conserved cysteine residues but not four cysteines typical to chemokines. CCL21 has function in ininducing vigorous calcium migrations and chemotactic responses.
Lyophilized from a 0.22 µm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.
Target:
CCL21
Application Dilute:
Lyophilized from a 0.22 µm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.
Application Notes:
Cross-Reactivity: Centrifuge the vial before opening. Reconstitute to a concentration of 0.1-0.5 mg/mL in sterile distilled water. Avoid vortex or vigorously pipetting the protein. For long term storage,it is recommended to add a carrier protein or stablizer (e.g. 0.1% BSA,5% HSA,10% FBS or 5% Trehalose),and aliquot the reconstituted protein solution to minimize free-thaw cycles., ResearchArea: Cytokines & Cytokine receptors
Recombinant Human CCL21 Protein was determined by SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions with Coomassie Blue.
