Summary

This antimicrobial gene belongs to the subfamily of small cytokine CC genes. Cytokines are a family of secreted proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The CC cytokines are proteins characterized by two adjacent cysteines. The cytokine encoded by this gene displays chemotactic activity for dendritic cells, thymocytes, and activated macrophages but is inactive on peripheral blood lymphocytes and neutrophils. The product of this gene binds to chemokine receptor CCR9. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014]

Forensic Context

A study in mice demonstrated that during gingival wound healing, the chemokine CCL25 (TECK) gene expression was elevated at 24 hours post-wounding and then down-regulated by 72 hours, suggesting a self-limiting recruitment of lymphocytes and dendritic cells [McGrory et al. DOI:10.1016/j.bbrc.2004.09.056].
