(often abbr. SISd) This protein is identical with RANTES. It belongs to the family of chemotactic cytokines known as Chemokines (subgroup of CC-Chemokines). The new designation is CCL5. See also: SIS family of cytokines.
This factor is known mainly because of its chemotactic activity. For an unrelated function as an antimicrobial peptide in innate immunity see: CCL5.
