Background CCL7, also known as Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-3 (MCP-3), is a secreted chemokine that attracts macrophages, monocytes, and eosinophils during inflammation and metastasis. It is a member of the C-C subfamily of chemokines which are characterized by having two adjacent cysteine residues. In vivo, this protein is a substrate of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2), an enzyme that degrades components of the extracellular matrix. The gene that encodes CCL7 is part of a cluster of C-C chemokine family members on chromosome 17q. CCL7 binds to CCR1, CCR2, and CCR3 receptors and appears to be an antagonist for the CCR5 receptor.

Biological Activity CCL7
Biological Function Chemotactic factor that attracts monocytes and eosinophils, but not neutrophils. Augments monocyte anti-tumor activity. Also induces the release of gelatinase B. This protein can bind heparin. Binds to CCR1, CCR2 and CCR3.
