Monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-2 is a member of the CC chemokine subfamily, which
shares more than 60% sequence homology with MCP-1 and MCP-3 and about 30%
homology with macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1α, regulated on activation of normal
T cell expressed (RANTES), and MIP-1β. Despite this considerable sequence homology to
other CC chemokines, MCP-2 appears to have unique functional properties in comparison
with other CC chemokines such as MCP-1 and MCP-3. Although evidence obtained from …
