This factor is identical with MIP-1-beta, one of the molecular forms of MIP (macrophage inflammatory protein). It therefore belongs to the family of chemotactic cytokines known as Chemokines (subgroup of CC-Chemokines) (Brown et al, 1989).
The factor is known also as SCYA4 and the approved gene symbol is CCL4.
This factor is known mainly because of its chemotactic activity. For an unrelated function as an antimicrobial peptide in innate immunity see: CCL4. For other proteins/peptides with functions in innate immunity and/or antimicrobial activities see also: Innate immunity and defense peptides Dictionary.
