CCL4L2 Gene

HGNC Family Chemokine ligands (CCL)
Name chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 4-like 2
Description This gene is one of several cytokine genes that are clustered on the q-arm of chromosome 17. Cytokines are a family of secreted proteins that function in inflammatory and immunoregulatory processes. The protein encoded by this family member is similar to the chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 4 product, which inhibits HIV entry by binding to the cellular receptor CCR5. The copy number of this gene varies among individuals, where most individuals have one to five copies. This gene copy contains a non-consensus splice acceptor site at the 3' terminal exon found in other highly similar gene copies, and it thus uses other alternative splice sites for the 3' terminal exon, resulting in multiple transcript variants.

Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n CCL4L2 is a member of the CC chemokine subfamily that—by analogy to its closely related homologues such as macrophage inflammatory protein‐1β (MIP‑1β) (a designation commonly used for the CCL4 gene product) –is thought to function as a potent chemoattractant and immunomodulator. Chemokines in this family play central roles in recruiting and activating diverse leukocyte subsets (including monocytes, lymphocytes, and natural killer cells) through binding to G‐protein–coupled receptors such as CCR5. Genetic studies have revealed that structural genomic variations, including alterations in gene copy number in the region encompassing CCL4 homologues (for example, CCL4L1, with close similarity to CCL4L2), are associated with marked effects on circulating chemokine levels and, thereby, on the magnitude of inflammatory responses."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": " In addition, receptor–ligand interactions involving CCR5 not only govern directed cellular migration but also modulate immune cell activation and responses to viral entry, illustrating a dual role in both host defense and the propagation of inflammatory signals."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "3"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": " Collectively, these findings support the concept that CCL4L2 contributes to the fine tuning of inflammation through promotion of leukocyte chemotaxis and activation, thereby representing a potential target for therapeutic modulation in inflammatory and immune-mediated diseases.\n "}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Patricia Menten, Anja Wuyts, Jo Van Damme "}, {"type": "b", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Macrophage inflammatory protein-1."}]}, {"type": "t", "text": " "}, {"type": "i", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Cytokine Growth Factor Rev (2002)"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": " DOI: "}, {"type": "a", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "10.1016/s1359-6101(02)00045-x"}], "href": "https://doi.org/10.1016/s1359-6101(02"}, {"type": "t", "text": "00045-x) PMID: "}, {"type": "a", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "12401480"}], "href": "https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12401480"}]}, {"type": "r", "ref": 2, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "David Melzer, John R B Perry, Dena Hernandez, et al.
