Other Information

**Key Characteristics** CCL17 exhibits several key characteristics that distinguish it from other chemokines: 1. **Chemokine structure**: CCL17 is a small, secreted protein composed of 8 amino acids, with a characteristic C-C motif at its N-terminus. 2. **Receptor specificity**: CCL17 binds to specific receptors, including CCR6, which is expressed on the surface of T helper 2 (Th2) cells, dendritic cells, and other immune cells. 3. **Chemotactic activity**: CCL17 exhibits chemotactic activity, attracting immune cells to sites of inflammation and promoting their recruitment to lymphoid organs. 4. **Immunomodulatory effects**: CCL17 can modulate immune responses by promoting the activation and proliferation of Th2 cells, which are involved in the regulation of allergic responses and inflammation. **Pathways and Functions** CCL17 is involved in several signaling pathways that regulate immune responses: 1. **Chemokine receptor signaling**: CCL17 binds to CCR6, triggering a signaling cascade that activates downstream pathways, including the MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways. 2. **JAK/STAT signaling**: CCL17 also activates the JAK/STAT signaling pathway, which regulates the expression of genes involved in immune responses. 3. **NF-κB signaling**: CCL17 can activate the NF-κB transcription factor, which regulates the expression of genes involved in inflammation and immune responses. 4. **Cell-cell signaling**: CCL17 can interact with other chemokines and cytokines to regulate cell-cell signaling, promoting the recruitment of immune cells to sites of inflammation. **Clinical Significance** CCL17 has significant implications for various diseases, including: 1. **Allergic disorders**: CCL17 is involved in the regulation of Th2 responses, making it a potential target for the treatment of allergic disorders, such as asthma and atopic dermatitis. 2. **Inflammatory diseases**: CCL17 can contribute to the development of inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis, by promoting the recruitment of immune cells to sites of inflammation. 3. **Cancer**: CCL17 is expressed in various types of cancer, including leukemia and lymphoma, where it may contribute to tumor progression and metastasis. 4. **Immunomodulatory therapies**: CCL17 may be used as a target for immunomodulatory therapies, such as vaccines and immunotherapies, to regulate immune responses and prevent disease. In conclusion, CCL17 is a chemokine that plays a critical role in regulating immune responses, particularly in the recruitment of immune cells to sites of inflammation. Its involvement in various diseases, including allergic disorders, inflammatory diseases, and cancer, highlights its potential as a therapeutic target for the treatment of these conditions.
