Background

CXCL17 also named Dendritic Cell and Monocyte Chemokine-like Protein (DMC) and VEGF Co-regulated Chemokine 1 (VCC-1), is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family. It is constitutively expressed in the lung and can be detected in trachea, stomach and skeletal muscle. CXCL17 attracts dendritic cells and monocytes and is regulated in tumors. It may be a housekeeping chemokine regulating recruitment of nonactivated blood monocytes and immature dendritic cells into tissues and may play a role in the innate defense against infections. Mature human CXCL17 shares 73 %, 71 % and 64 % amino acid sequence identity with bovine, mouse and rat DMC, respectively.
