Ccl12 - C-C motif chemokine ligand 12

Predicted to enable CCR2 chemokine receptor binding activity and chemokine activity. Involved in negative regulation of leukocyte proliferation and positive regulation of leukocyte migration. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Henoch-Schoenlein purpura; aggressive periodontitis; autoimmune disease (multiple); gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); and tuberculosis (multiple). Orthologous to several human genes including CCL8 (C-C motif chemokine ligand 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
