  • intercrine beta-family
  • CATEGORY signaling cytokine
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION extracellular

    basic FUNCTION
  • chemotatic activity for monocytes, resting T-lymphocytes and neutrophils
  • inhibiting proliferation of myeloid progenitor
  • cells in colony formation assays
  • chemokine that was initially characterized as a chemoattractant for monocytes and dendritic cells (Han 2009)
  • may play a direct role in angiogenesis, via the upregulation of MMP2 expression
  • promoted the chemotactic migration and differentiation of endothelial cells, and endothelial cell migration was mediated through CCR1 (Hwang 2005)
  • promoted VEGF-induced endothelial proliferation and migration, which were correlated with the maximal stimulation of KDR expression by CCL23 (Han 2009)
  • results in up-regulation of KDR receptor gene transcription and protein expression and that KDR/Flk-1 up-regulation induced by CCL23 may contribute to potentiation of VEGF action in angiogenesis (Han 2009)
