Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** CCL27 is a 10-amino acid chemokine that binds to the CCR7 receptor, a G-protein coupled receptor. This interaction triggers a signaling cascade that regulates various cellular processes, including chemotaxis, cell proliferation, and survival. CCL27 is primarily produced by epithelial cells, endothelial cells, and immune cells, such as dendritic cells and T cells. Its expression is tightly regulated by transcription factors, such as CREB and NF-κB, which respond to inflammatory signals and developmental cues. **Pathways and Functions:** CCL27's signaling pathways involve the activation of G-protein coupled receptors, leading to the modulation of downstream signaling events, including: 1. **Chemotaxis**: CCL27 induces chemotaxis in target cells, facilitating the migration of immune cells, such as T cells and dendritic cells, towards chemokine gradients. 2. **Cell proliferation**: CCL27 promotes cell proliferation by activating signaling pathways that regulate cell cycle progression and apoptosis. 3. **Survival**: CCL27 protects cells from apoptosis by activating anti-apoptotic signaling pathways. 4. **Tissue homeostasis**: CCL27 maintains tissue homeostasis by regulating the differentiation and migration of stem cells and progenitor cells. **Clinical Significance:** CCL27's dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Autoimmune diseases**: CCL27 is involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis, where it regulates the migration and differentiation of immune cells. 2. **Cancer**: CCL27 has been shown to promote tumor growth and metastasis by inducing chemotaxis and angiogenesis in cancer cells. 3. **Neurological disorders**: CCL27 is involved in the regulation of neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration, as seen in diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. 4. **Infectious diseases**: CCL27 plays a role in the immune response to infections, such as tuberculosis and HIV, by regulating the migration and activation of immune cells. In conclusion, CCL27 is a key player in the regulation of immune responses, cell migration, and tissue homeostasis. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, highlighting the importance of this gene in human health and disease. Further research is needed to fully elucidate the mechanisms by which CCL27 regulates immune responses and to identify potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of diseases associated with CCL27 dysregulation.
