GO Classification
Functions
CCR chemokine receptor binding / chemokine activity / heparin binding / phospholipase activator activity / protein kinase activity
Processes
calcium ion transport / cell-cell signaling / cellular calcium ion homeostasis / cellular response to interferon-gamma / cellular response to interleukin-1 / cellular response to tumor necrosis factor / chemokine-mediated signaling pathway / chemotaxis / eosinophil chemotaxis / exocytosis / G-protein coupled receptor signaling pathway / inflammatory response / lymphocyte chemotaxis / monocyte chemotaxis / negative regulation of leukocyte proliferation / neutrophil chemotaxis / positive regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade / positive regulation of GTPase activity / positive regulation of leukocyte migration / protein phosphorylation / response to virus / signal transduction
Components
cell / extracellular space
General Function
Protein kinase activity
Specific Function
Chemotactic factor that attracts monocytes, lymphocytes, basophils and eosinophils. May play a role in neoplasia and inflammatory host responses. This protein can bind heparin. The processed form MCP-2(6-76) does not show monocyte chemotactic activity, but inhibits the chemotactic effect most predominantly of CCL7, and also of CCL2 and CCL5 and CCL8.
