Within the chemokines, MCP-2 belongs to the CC subfamily, and is a member of the Monocyte Chemoattractant Proteins (MCPs), which includes MCP-1, MCP-2, MCP-3, MCP-4, and MCP-5. MCP-2 shares 60% homology with MCP-1, and both proteins can undergo reversible dimerization. The main receptors of MCP-2 are G-protein coupled receptors CCR1 and CCR5. MCP-2 is a potential target in HIV-1 infected human glial cells as it may play a role in the modulation of viral spread in the brain. Recently, researchers found that mouse MCP-2 is expressed in the skin as a novel agonist of CCR8 and plays a role in eosinophilic inflammation.Recombinant human MCP-2\/CCL8(rhMCP-2) produced in E.coli is a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 76 amino acids. A fully biologically active molecule, rhMCP-2 has a molecular mass of 8.9kDa analyzed by reducing SDS-PAGE and is obtained by chromatographic techniques at GenScript.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BioWorld","offers":[{"title":"5μg","offer_id":42882244477107,"sku":"BK0126-5","price":217.41,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25μg","offer_id":42882244509875,"sku":"BK0126-25","price":444.71,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/9482\/6376\/products\/thumbnail_d1447bac803ec9be_11-14-09-19-51_12dc2da0-43e0-4cd8-92b6-699bb61e8da3.jpg?v=1702049957","url":"https:\/\/afsbio.com\/products\/recombinant-mcp-2-ccl8-human-bk0126","provider":"AFSBio Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
