Product Specs

Introduction
Macrophage Inflammatory Proteins (MIPs) are chemokines that play a crucial role in immune responses. In humans, MIP-1a (CCL3) and MIP-1b (CCL4) are produced by activated macrophages and contribute to inflammation by recruiting and activating granulocytes. These proteins also stimulate the production of other inflammatory mediators like IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-a. The genes encoding CCL3 and CCL4 are located on chromosome 17.

Product Science Overview

Introduction

Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-1 Alpha (MIP-1α), also known as CCL3, is a chemokine that plays a crucial role in the immune system. It is involved in the recruitment and activation of various immune cells, including macrophages, lymphocytes, and eosinophils. The recombinant form of this protein, specifically the mouse version with a His tag, is widely used in research to study its functions and potential therapeutic applications.

Discovery and Structure

MIP-1α/CCL3 was first discovered by Stephen D. Wolpe in 1988 . It belongs to the CC subfamily of chemokines, characterized by two adjacent cysteine residues near their amino terminus. The recombinant mouse version of MIP-1α/CCL3 is expressed in HEK 293 cells and includes a His tag for purification purposes . This protein has a molecular weight of approximately 10.07 kDa .

Biological Functions

MIP-1α/CCL3 is a multifunctional peptide secreted by various hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells upon stimulation . Its primary functions include:

  • Recruitment of Inflammatory Cells: MIP-1α/CCL3 attracts macrophages, lymphocytes, and eosinophils to sites of inflammation via the CCR1 or CCR5 receptors .
  • Bone Resorption: It activates bone resorption cells and directly induces bone destruction, playing a significant role in bone remodeling processes .
  • Wound Healing: MIP-1α/CCL3 is involved in wound healing by recruiting cells necessary for tissue repair .
  • Inhibition of Stem Cells: It inhibits the proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells .
  • HIV Suppression: MIP-1α/CCL3 exhibits strong HIV-suppressive activity .
Clinical Significance

MIP-1α/CCL3 is associated with various inflammatory diseases and conditions that exhibit bone resorption, such as periodontitis, multiple myeloma, Sjögren syndrome, and rheumatoid arthritis . Elevated levels of MIP-1α/CCL3 can be detected in biological fluids of patients suffering from these diseases, indicating its potential as a diagnostic biomarker .

Recombinant Mouse MIP-1α/CCL3 (His Tag)

The recombinant mouse MIP-1α/CCL3 protein with a His tag is a full-length protein expressed in HEK 293 cells. It has a purity of ≥95% and an endotoxin level of ≤1.63 EU/mg . This recombinant protein is used in various applications, including HPLC and mass spectrometry (MS), to study its biological functions and interactions .
