MIP-3beta is a CC chemokine, expressed in the thymus, lymph nodes, and in activated bone marrow stromal cells that signals through the CCR7 receptor. MIP-3beta is a chemoattractant for T and B lymphocytes, and myeloid progenitor cells. Human MIP-3beta is active on murine cells. Recombinant Murine MIP-3beta is a 9.2kD protein containing 83 amino acid residues, including the four highly conserved cysteine residues present in CC chemokines.
Recombinant protein corresponding to mouse MIP-3 beta, expressed in E.coli. Accession Number: NP_036018.1
