CCL14

CCL14, also known as Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 14, is a small cytokine belonging to the CC chemokine family that is also known as HCC-1 (hemofiltrate CC chemokine 1). It is produced as a protein precursor that is cleaved to generate the mature protein. CCL14 is expressed in various tissues, including the liver and the kidney, and may be involved in the recruitment of monocytes, lymphocytes and neutrophils.
