CCL24

Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 24 (CCL24) is a small cytokine belonging to the CC chemokine family that is also known as Myeloid progenitor inhibitory factor 2 (MPIF-2) and Eosinophil chemotactic protein 2 (Eotaxin-2). CCL24 interacts with chemokine receptor CCR3 to induce chemotaxis in eosinophils. This chemokine is also strongly chemotactic for resting T lymphocytes and slightly chemotactic for neutrophils. The gene for CCL24 is located on human chromosome 7.
