C-C motif chemokine 8,chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 8,HC14,MCP2,MCP-2,monocyte chemoattractant protein 2,monocyte chemotactic protein 2,SCYA10,SCYA8,small inducible cytokine subfamily A (Cys-Cys), member 8 (monocyte chemotactic protein 2),small-inducible cytokine A8.
Chemotactic factor that attracts monocytes, lymphocytes, basophils and eosinophils. May play a role in neoplasia and inflammatory host responses. This protein can bind heparin. The processed form MCP-2(6-76) does not show monocyte chemotactic activity, but inhibits the chemotactic effect most predominantly of CCL7, and also of CCL2 and CCL5 and CCL8.
