Recombinant Human Lymphotactin/XCL1
Chemokine (C motif) ligand (XCL1), as known as lymphotactin, is the only known member of the C-chemokine family and signals through the receptor XCR1, formally known as GPR5. The expression of lymphotactin is abundant in some activated T cells such as activated CD8+ T cells and other class I MHC restricted T cells. It is found in high levels in spleen, thymus, intestine and peripheral blood leukocytes, and at lower levels in lung, prostate gland and ovary. XCL1 induces its chemotactic function by binding to a chemokine receptor called XCR1. Recombinant Human XCL1 which is a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chains containing 92 amino acids and it shares approximately 60 % amino acid sequence homology with the murine and rat protein.
