Preparation and Storage

Background: CCL25/TECK

CCL25 (thymus-expressed chemokine) is a CC chemokine that is distantly related (approximately 20% amino acid sequence identity) to other CC chemokines. Human CCL25 cDNA encodes a 150 aa precursor protein with a 23 aa signal peptide that is cleaved to yield a 127 aa mature protein. Mouse CCL25 cDNA has also been cloned and shown to encode a 144 aa protein that exhibits 49% aa sequence identity to human CCL25. The expresssion of human and mouse CCL25 was shown to be highly restricted to the thymus and small intestine. Although dendritic cells have been demonstrated to be the source of CCL25 production in the thymus, dendritic cells derived from bone marrow do not express CCL25. The gene for mouse CCL25 has been mapped to chromosome 8 rather than chromosome 11 where many mouse CC chemokines are clustered. Recombinant human and mouse CCL25 are chemotactic for activated macrophages, dendritic cells and thymocytes. CCL25 is also a specific agonist for the CCR9 chemokine receptor
