CCL4L1
CCL4L1
CCL4L1 is a gene that encodes for the protein C-C motif chemokine ligand 4-like 1. This gene is located on chromosome 17 in humans. The protein encoded by CCL4L1 is a member of the chemokine family, which are small signaling proteins involved in immune responses.
Function[edit | edit source]
CCL4L1 is thought to play a role in the immune system by attracting immune cells to sites of inflammation or infection. It is believed to be involved in the regulation of immune cell migration and activation.
Structure[edit | edit source]
The CCL4L1 gene consists of several exons that encode for the protein. The protein itself is composed of amino acids that form a specific structure necessary for its function in immune responses.
Clinical Significance[edit | edit source]
Research has shown that variations in the CCL4L1 gene may be associated with certain inflammatory conditions and autoimmune diseases. Understanding the role of CCL4L1 in these diseases could lead to potential therapeutic interventions in the future.
