CCL17

Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 17 (CCL17) (also known as TARC) is a small cytokine belonging to the CC chemokine family is also known as thymus and activation regulated chemokine (TARC). CCL17 is expressed constitutively in thymus, but only transiently in phytohemagglutinin-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells.[5] This chemokine specifically binds and induces chemotaxis in T cells and elicits its effects by interacting with the chemokine receptor CCR4.[5][6] The gene for CCL17 is located on chromosome 16, in humans, along with other chemokines called CCL22 and CX3CL1.[7][8]

Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) upregulates CCL17 production in monocytes and macrophages.[9] Neutralizing CCL17 with monoclonal antibody has been shown to relieve inflammatory arthritis and osteoarthritis.[9]
