Ccl22 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable CCR chemokine receptor binding activity and chemokine activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including antimicrobial humoral immune response mediated by antimicrobial peptide; chemokine-mediated signaling pathway; and eosinophil chemotaxis. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in dermis; epidermis; inguinal lymph node; thymus; and thymus primordium. Orthologous to human CCL22 (C-C motif chemokine ligand 22).

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 Ccl22 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
