Ccl27a Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables chemokine activity. Involved in cell chemotaxis. Acts upstream of or within regulation of actin cytoskeleton organization. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including cerebral cortex; genitourinary system; hip; sensory organ; and skeleton. Orthologous to human CCL27 (C-C motif chemokine ligand 27). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ccl27a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
