Description

CCL20 drives chemotaxis of CCR6-expressing lymphocytes and dendritic cells, making it a critical tool for dissecting mucosal immunity and inflammatory cell trafficking. This tag-free recombinant human CCL20, encompassing the full mature sequence (27–96 aa), induces robust T-lymphocyte migration at 10–50 ng/ml in chemotaxis bioassays, confirming signaling potency through the CCR6/CCL20 axis suitable for Transwell migration assays, NF-κB and MAPK pathway activation studies, and in vivo models of mucosal inflammation or tumor immune infiltration. Endotoxin levels below 1.0 EU/μg minimize LPS-driven artifacts that can confound cytokine-dependent readouts in primary immune cell cultures, supporting use in sensitive dendritic cell differentiation experiments and PBMC-based functional assays. Purity exceeding 97% by SDS-PAGE, combined with this stringent endotoxin control, also provides a suitable basis for deployment as an ELISA reference standard or a positive control in antibody validation workflows.

Target Background

Function

Acts as a ligand for C-C chemokine receptor CCR6. Signals through binding and activation of CCR6 and induces a strong chemotactic response and mobilization of intracellular calcium ions. The ligand-receptor pair CCL20-CCR6 is responsible for the chemotaxis of dendritic cells (DC), effector/memory T-cells and B-cells and plays an important role at skin and mucosal surfaces under homeostatic and inflammatory conditions, as well as in pathology, including cancer and various autoimmune diseases. CCL20 acts as a chemotactic factor that attracts lymphocytes and, slightly, neutrophils, but not monocytes. Involved in the recruitment of both the proinflammatory IL17 producing helper T-cells (Th17) and the regulatory T-cells (Treg) to sites of inflammation. Required for optimal migration of thymic natural regulatory T cells (nTregs) and DN1 early thymocyte progenitor cells. C-terminal processed forms have been shown to be equally chemotactically active for leukocytes. Positively regulates sperm motility and chemotaxis via its binding to CCR6 which triggers Ca2+ mobilization in the sperm which is important for its motility. Inhibits proliferation of myeloid progenitors in colony formation assays. May be involved in formation and function of the mucosal lymphoid tissues by attracting lymphocytes and dendritic cells towards epithelial cells. Possesses antibacterial activity towards E.coli ATCC 25922 and S.aureus ATCC 29213.
