About This Section

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
