The target MCP-3 also referred to as CCL7 is a chemotactic cytokine belonging to the CC chemokine family. Its molecular weight is approximately 11 kDa. MCP-3 is largely expressed by various cell types including monocytes lymphocytes and endothelial cells. This protein plays an important role in immune system signaling. MCP-3 exhibits chemotactic activity for monocytes T lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells contributing to immune cell recruitment at sites of inflammation.
Biological function summary
MCP-3 interacts with several chemokine receptors such as CCR1 CCR2 and CCR3 allowing for diverse roles in immune response and inflammation. It functions as both a monomer and in conjunction with other chemokines to form heterodimers aiding in the modulation and fine-tuning of the immune response. The presence of MCP-3 in inflammatory tissues indicates its contribution to directing leukocyte migration and positioning therefore supporting both innate and adaptive immunity.
Pathways
MCP-3 is a component of the chemokine signaling pathway and is significant in the regulation of immune surveillance. It interacts closely with proteins such as CCL2 and CCL3 all of which bind to similar receptors like CCR2 and CCR5. MCP-3's involvement in these pathways supports cellular responses to inflammation and infection and its activity has a direct impact on the mobilization and activation of immune cells.
MCP-3 shows associations with conditions marked by inflammation and immune system dysregulation including rheumatoid arthritis and asthma. The protein's influence in these disorders links to other chemokines like MCP-1 (CCL2) which also recruits monocytes and contributes to chronic inflammation. Disruption in MCP-3 expression or function can aggravate disease states by altering the balance of leukocyte trafficking and exacerbating inflammatory responses.
