MIP-1 α, Species: Rat, 5UG

Macrophage Inflammatory Protein 1 ? (MIP-1 ?), also known as CCL3, is a cytokine produced by macrophages. MIP-1 ? binds the chemokine receptors CCR1, CCR4 and CCR5 to induce inflammatory responses, including the recruitment of granulocytes and neutrophil superoxide production. The MIP-1 ? and MIP-1 ? heterodimer exhibits antiviral activity against the human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1).
