Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 4, also known as CCL4, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the CCL4 gene.[1]

Function

CCL4, also known as Macrophage inflammatory protein-1β (MIP-1β) is a CC chemokine with specificity for CCR5 receptors. It is a chemoattractant for natural killer cells, monocytes and a variety of other immune cells.[2]

CCL4 is a major HIV-suppressive factor produced by CD8+ T cells.[3]

Perforin-low memory CD8+ T cells that normally synthesize MIP-1-beta.[4]

Interactions

CCL4 has been shown to interact with CCL3.[5]
