Gene summaryThis gene, chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 15, is one of several CC cytokine genes clustered on 17q11.2. The CC cytokines are secreted proteins characterized by two adjacent cysteines. The cytokine encoded by this gene is chemotactic for T cells and monocytes and induces N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase release in monocytes. It induces changes in intracellular calcium concentration in monocytes and is thought to act through the CCR1 receptor. Read-through transcripts are expressed that include exons from the downstream cytokine gene, chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 14, and are represented as GeneID: 348249. [provided by RefSeq]
