Background

Relevance: Shows chemotactic activity for monocytes, resting T-lymphocytes, and neutrophils, but not for activated lymphocytes. Inhibits proliferation of myeloid progenitor cells in colony formation assays. This protein can bind heparin. Binds CCR1. CCL23(19-99), CCL23(22-99), CCL23(27-99), CCL23(30-99) are more potent chemoattractants than the small-inducible cytokine A23. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15905581}. Synonyms: CK-beta-8, Macrophage inflammatory protein 3, MIP-3, Myeloid progenitor inhibitory factor 1, MPIF-1
