CC Subfamily Detection Service (CAT#: STEM-MB-0260-WXH)

Introduction

Based on the difference in amino acid sequence between the two cysteine residues at the N-terminus, chemokines are divided into four main subfamilies: CXC, CC, CX3C, and XC. Among them, CC chemokine protein is different in that it has two adjacent cysteine near the amino terminus. The study found that in mammals, this subgroup has at least 27 different members, called CC chemokine ligands (CCL) -1 to -28, where CCL10 is the same as CCL9. It is known from the results of existing studies that CC chemokines can induce the migration of monocytes and other cell types such as NK cells and dendritic cells.




Principle

CC chemokine receptors are membrane proteins that specifically bind and respond to the CC chemokine family. They are a large family of G protein-coupled receptors that transmembrane seven times. When the released CC chemokine binds to the CC chemokine receptor on the surface of the target cell, a transmembrane transmission of the signal is initiated. Because the intracellular signal transduction of the CC chemokine receptor depends on the adjacent G protein, the receptor is in an inactive state when GDP binds to the receptor G protein. After binding to the chemokine ligand, the chemokine receptor can replace the G protein-bound GDP with a GTP molecule and dissociate the G protein subunit to complete the activation of the G protein.

Applications

CC chemokines can induce the migration of monocytes and other cell types such as NK cells and dendritic cells.
Analyze the function of chemokines, from intracellular transport to signal transduction activities.
Study the relationship between chemokines and the mechanism of occurrence and metastasis of various diseases. For example, it plays a role in the production and differentiation of immune cells and bone marrow hematopoietic cells, development regulation and immune response regulation.
Develop new anti-inflammatory drugs based on the physiological functions of chemokines.

Procedure

1. Process samples.
2. CC Subfamily detection (qPCR, Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Flow cytometry).
3. Analysis results.

Notes

Sample Types - Blood, serum, plasma, cell culture supernatant, cell lysate, cell culture medium, tissue homogenate, urine, tumor, etc.
