Rabbit Anti-Lymphotactin (LPTN, LTN, ATAC, C Motif Chemokine 1, Chemokine (C Motif) Ligand 1, Cytokine SCM-1, Lymphotaxin, SCM1, SCM-1, SCM-1-alpha, SCM-1a, Small-inducible Cytokine C1, SCYC1, XC Chemokine Ligand 1, XCL1) (HRP)
Lymphotactin, otherwise known as XCL1, is the only member of the C-chemokine family identified so far. Unlike other members of the chemokine superfamily, Lymphotactin uniquely acts as a chemoattractant for lymphocytes, but not monocytes or neutrophils, suggesting an important regulatory role in lymphocyte trafficking and inflammation.
Lymphotactin, shown to signal through chemokine XC receptor 1 (XCR1), is detected at the highest level in the spleen and at low levels in the lungs, small intestine and colon, and is abundantly and selectively expressed by activated T cells, in particular CD8+ T cells, and is also produced by NK cells.
