Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 5 (also CCL5) is a protein which in humans is encoded by the CCL5 gene.
It is also known as RANTES.
This gene is one of several chemokine genes clustered on the q-arm of chromosome 17.
Chemokines form a superfamily of secreted proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes.
The superfamily is divided into four subfamilies based on the arrangement of the N-terminal cysteine residues of the mature peptide.
This chemokine, a member of the CC subfamily, functions as a chemoattractant for blood monocytes, memory T helper cells and eosinophils.
It causes the release of histamine from basophils and activates eosinophils.
This cytokine is one of the major HIV-suppressive factors produced by CD8+ cells.
It functions as one of the natural ligands for the chemokine receptor chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 5 (CCR5), and it suppresses in vitro replication of the R5 strains of HIV-1, which use CCR5 as a coreceptor.
Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode different isoforms.
