Mouse Anti-Macrophage Inflammatory Protein 3 alpha (MIP-3-alpha, MIP3A, MIP-3a, Beta Chemokine Exodus-1, CC Chemokine LARC, C-C Motif Chemokine 20, Chemokine (C-C Motif) Ligand 20, CCL20, CKb4, Liver and Activation-regulated Chemokine) (APC)
CCL20, also known as macrophage inflammatory protein 3 alpha (MIP-3a), is a b-chemokine that is strongly up-regulated by inflammatory signals and down-regulated by the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. CCL20 binds to CCR6 to promote chemotaxis of lymphocytes and inhibit the proliferation of myeloid progenitors.
