Product details:
This gene is one of several Cys-Cys (CC) cytokine genes clustered on the q arm of chromosome 16. Cytokines are a family of secreted proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The CC cytokines are proteins characterized by two adjacent cysteines. The cytokine encoded by this gene displays chemotactic activity for T lymphocytes, but not monocytes or granulocytes. The product of this gene binds to chemokine receptors CCR4 and CCR8. This chemokine plays important roles in T cell development in thymus as well as in trafficking and activation of mature T cells.

TARC also known as CCL17 is a chemokine with a molecular mass of approximately 8 kDa. It is mainly expressed in the thymus but also found in the lung liver and lymph nodes. CCL17 plays an important role in immune response by signaling through the CCR4 receptor. It functions as a ligand that guides the movement of T-helper 2 (Th2) cells regulatory T cells (Tregs) and other immune cells to sites of inflammation.
Biological function summary
CCL17 acts as a chemotactic agent attracting specific immune cells especially T lymphocytes to inflammatory regions. This protein does not operate as part of a larger protein complex but engages directly by binding to receptors on the target immune cells. Localized expression of CCL17 increases in conditions where enhanced Th2 cell response is needed such as allergic or autoimmune responses.
Pathways
CCL17 plays a significant role in the cell signaling pathway called the chemokine signaling pathway. Through this pathway CCL17 interacts with the CCR4 receptor which helps mediate immune cell migration and adhesion. This interaction is critical for establishing the adaptive immune response. CCL17 and CCR4 support the trafficking of Th2 cells during immune reactions and pathogen defense.
CCL17 associates with asthma and atopic dermatitis where Th2 cell recruitment and activity are heightened. In asthma increased CCL17 levels exacerbate inflammatory response in the airways. In atopic dermatitis CCL17 presence corresponds with the intensity of the skin inflammation. These conditions are linked to the overactivity of Th2 cytokines such as IL-4 (H4L3) which collaborate with CCL17 to drive allergic responses.
