HCC-1 is a CC chemokine that signals through the CCR1 receptor and chemoattracts blood monocytes. It is secreted by various tissues including skeletal muscle, heart, spleen, liver, bone marrow and plasma. Mature HCC-1 is found in four different forms, which are distinguished by differential N-terminal truncation and contain 74, 72, 71, or 66aa. Recombinant human HCC-1 (66aa) is a 7.8kD protein consisting of 66aa including the four highly conserved residues present in CC chemokines.
