Summary
CCL17 (C-C motif chemokine ligand 17, HGNC:10615) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 16q21, encoding C-C motif chemokine 17 (Q92583). Chemokine, which displays chemotactic activity for T lymphocytes, preferentially Th2 cells, but not monocytes or granulocytes.
This antimicrobial gene is one of several Cys-Cys (CC) cytokine genes clustered on the q arm of chromosome 16. Cytokines are a family of secreted proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The CC cytokines are proteins characterized by two adjacent cysteines. The cytokine encoded by this gene displays chemotactic activity for T lymphocytes, but not monocytes or granulocytes. The product of this gene binds to chemokine receptors CCR4 and CCR8. This chemokine plays important roles in T cell development in thymus as well as in trafficking and activation of mature T cells.

Function. Chemokine, which displays chemotactic activity for T lymphocytes, preferentially Th2 cells, but not monocytes or granulocytes. Therefore plays an important role in a wide range of inflammatory and immunological processes. Acts by binding to CCR4 at T-cell surface. Mediates GM-CSF/CSF2-driven pain and inflammation. In the brain, required to maintain the typical, highly branched morphology of hippocampal microglia under homeostatic conditions. May be important for the appropriate adaptation of microglial morphology and synaptic plasticity to acute lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced neuroinflammation. Plays a role in wound healing, mainly by inducing fibroblast migration into the wound.
Subcellular location. Secreted.
Tissue specificity. Constitutively expressed in thymus. Detected at lower levels in the lung, colon and small intestine. Expressed in stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells, but not in resting cells.
Induction. In monocytes, up-regulated by IL4 and by GM-CSF/CSF2 in an IRF4-dependent manner (at protein level).
Similarity. Belongs to the intercrine beta (chemokine CC) family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 11 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
