Rat CCL4 / MIP1B Protein(His Tag)

CCL4 (C-C chemokine ligand 4), is a macrophage inflammatory protein with a chief effect in inflammation and immune-regulation, and was documented in cancer progression by promoting instability in the tumor environment. The inflammatory chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 4 (CCL4) plays an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of cancer. In particular, higher serum CCL4 levels in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) are associated with a more advanced stage of disease. CCL4 may be a new molecular therapeutic target for inhibition of lymphangiogenesis and metastasis in OSCC. CCL3 and CCL4 loci may be marker SNPs for risk of HCV treatment outcome. CCL4 can enhance the recruitment of preosteoclasts to bone in the early stage, and the reduction of CCR5 promotes osteoclastogenesis when RANKL is prevalent.
