MIP-1 beta, CCL4, murine (mouse)

MIP-1 beta, CCL4, murine (mouse): Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 4, also known as Macrophage inflammatory protein-1β (MIP-1β) is a CC chemokine with specificity for CCR5 receptors and it is a major HIV-suppressive factor produced by CD8+ T cells. In addition, it is a monokine with inflammatory and chemokinetic properties. Recombinant CCL4 induces a dose-dependent inhibition of different strains of HIV-1, HIV-2, and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV). Furthermore, recombinant murine CCL4 contains 69 amino acids and it shares 77 % and 86 % a.a. sequence identity with human and rat CCL4. Both human and murine MIP-1α and MIP-1β are active on human and murine hematopoietic cells. UnitProt ID: P14097
