CCL5


Also found in: Acronyms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia.

CCL5

A gene on chromosome 17q11.2-q12 that encodes a cytokine that is a chemoattractant for monocytes, memory T helper cells and eosinophils. CCL5 triggers the release of histamine from basophils and activates eosinophils, is produced by CD8+ T cells and is a major HIV-suppressive factor. It binds to the chemokine receptor CCR5, and suppresses in vitro replication of R5 strains of HIV-1, which use CCR5 as a coreceptor.

Examples of these mediators include CCL5 (Chemokine [C-C motif] ligand 5), which promotes invasive behavior (103), TNF-[alpha], and, to a minor extent, IL-1[beta], which induces effects such as E-cadherin repression, reduced [beta]-catenin in the plasma membrane, vimentin expression, actin cytoskeleton reorganization, and increased adherence to substrate (104).
