UniProt functional annotation for P10147

UniProt code: P10147.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Monokine with inflammatory and chemokinetic properties. Binds to CCR1, CCR4 and CCR5. One of the major HIV-suppressive factors produced by CD8+ T-cells. Recombinant MIP-1-alpha induces a dose- dependent inhibition of different strains of HIV-1, HIV-2, and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8525373}.
 
Subunit: Self-associates. Also heterodimer of MIP-1-alpha(4-69) and MIP-1-beta(3-69). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12070155}.
Subcellular location: Secreted.
Induction: By TPA or PHA (TPA = 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13 acetate (tumor promoter); PHA = phytohemagglutinin (T-cell mitogen)).
Ptm: N-terminal processed form LD78-alpha(4-69) is produced by proteolytic cleavage after secretion from HTLV1-transformed T-cells.
Similarity: Belongs to the intercrine beta (chemokine CC) family. {ECO:0000305}.
