GeneCards Summary for CCL20 Gene:

CCL20 (chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 20) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with CCL20 include hordeolum, and smallpox. GO annotations related to this gene include chemokine activity.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: CCL20_HUMAN, P78556

Function: Chemotactic factor that attracts lymphocytes and, slightly, neutrophils, but not monocytes. Inhibits

proliferation of myeloid progenitors in colony formation assays. May be involved in formation and function of the

mucosal lymphoid tissues by attracting lymphocytes and dendritic cells towards epithelial cells. C-terminal

processed forms have been shown to be equally chemotactically active for leukocytes. Possesses antibacterial

activity E.coli ATCC 25922 and S.aureus ATCC 29213
