CCL7

CCL7, also known as Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 7, is a protein that plays a pivotal role in immune function and leukocyte recruitment. It functions by attracting various leukocytes, particularly monocytes and neutrophils, to sites of inflammation. CCL7 operates through the CCR1, CCR2, CCR3, and CCR5 receptors, influencing processes such as angiogenesis and inflammation. Its involvement in cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, and kidney disease is significant, with potential roles in inflammatory events and disease progression. Research into CCL7 inhibition as a therapeutic approach is ongoing, aiming to modulate its effects on these conditions.
