Abstract excerpt
Leukotactin-1 (Lkn-1), a human CC chemokine that binds to both CC chemokine receptor (CCR)1 and CCR3, is distinct from other human CC chemokines in that it has long amino acid residues preceding the first cysteine at the NH(2)-terminus. Serial deletion studies showed that at least three amino acid residues, alanine-alanine-aspartic acid (A-A-D), preceding the first cysteine at the NH(2)-terminus are essential for...
