Description
|
Thymus and activation regulated chemokine (TARC) is a novel CC chemokine, also called CCL17, recently identified using a signal sequence trap method. CCL17 cDNA encodes a highly basic 94 amino acid (a.a.) residue precursor protein with a 23 a.a. residue signal peptide that is cleaved to generate the 71 a.a. residue mature secreted protein. Among CC chemokine family members, CCL17 has approximately 24 - 29% amino acid sequence identity with RANTES, MIP-1α, MIP-1β, MCP-1, MCP-2, MCP-3 and I-309. CCL17 is constitutively expressed in thymus, and at a lower level in lung, colon, and small intestine. CCL17 is also transiently expressed in stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Recombinant CCL17 has been shown to be chemotactic for T cell lines but not monocytes or neutrophils. CCL17 was recently identified to be a specific functional ligand for CCR-4, a receptor that is selectively expressed on T cells.

Storage
|
This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8 °C, but should be kept at -20 °C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8 °C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20 °C to -70 °C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
