More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: A chemokine that is a chemoattractant for MONOCYTES and may also cause cellular activation of specific functions related to host defense. It is produced by LEUKOCYTES of both monocyte and lymphocyte lineage and by FIBROBLASTS during tissue injury. It has specificity for CCR2 RECEPTORS.      Other names Monocyte Chemotactic Protein 1; Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein 1; Chemotactic Protein-1, Monocyte; Chemokine, CCL2; Chemoattractant Protein-1, Monocyte; CCL2, Chemokines; CCL2, Chemokine; Monocyte Chemotactic and Activating Factor; Chemokines CCL2; CCL2 Chemokine; Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1; Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1
