Human Gene CCL27 (ENST00000259631.5_6) from GENCODE V45lift37
  Description: Homo sapiens C-C motif chemokine ligand 27 (CCL27), mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_006664)
RefSeq Summary (NM_006664): This gene is one of several CC cytokine genes clustered on the p-arm of chromosome 9. Cytokines are a family of secreted proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The CC cytokines are proteins characterized by two adjacent cysteines. The protein encoded by this gene is chemotactic for skin-associated memory T lymphocytes. This cytokine may also play a role in mediating homing of lymphocytes to cutaneous sites. It specifically binds to chemokine receptor 10 (CCR10). Studies of a similar murine protein indicate that these protein-receptor interactions have a pivotal role in T cell-mediated skin inflammation.
