Ccl3 - chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 3

Enables chemokine activity. Involved in several processes, including astrocyte cell migration; macrophage chemotaxis; and positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in articular cartilage; cartilage; knee joint; lung; and radius. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in human immunodeficiency virus infectious disease. Orthologous to several human genes including CCL3 (C-C motif chemokine ligand 3).
