Macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-3/CCL20, also known as liver and activation-regulated chemokine (LARC) or Exodus, is a member of the CC chemokine subfamily initially noted to be expressed in human liver, lung, appendix, and tonsillar crypts. MIP-3 is selectively chemotactic for CD34(+) bone marrow cell-derived immature DCs and CD45RO(+) memory T cells that express the cognate receptor CCR6. MIP-3 produced at sites of inflammation may chemoattract CCR6-expressing immature DCs to the subepithelial region of mucosal surfaces.

Aliases- Beta-chemokine exodus-1, MIP3 alpha, CC chemokine LARC, Liver and activation-regulated chemokine, MIP-3-alpha, µmall-inducible cytokine A20, SCYA20
- Recombinant Human Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-3 Alpha (CCL20)
Formulation- Recombinant CCL20 was lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered 20 µm PB,100 µm NaCl solution pH 7.5.
Endotoxin Level- <1.0 EU/µg of recombinant protein as determined by the LAL method.
Storage Condition- The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70°C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at +2° to +8°C for one month, or at -20°C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
