Description

General description

CCR4 (carbon catabolite repressor protein 4 homolog), a C-C type chemokine receptor. CCR4 is precisely expressed on surfaces of cells such as T helper type 2 cells, regulatory T cells, interluekin-17–producing T-helper cells (Th17), and skin-homing memory. These cells are usually known to migrate toward the chemokines CCL17 (C-C motif chemokine 17) and CCL22 (C-C motif chemokine 20).

Immunogen

chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 4 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies^® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

CCR4 (carbon catabolite repressor protein 4 homolog) plays an important role in immune cell trafficking. CCR4 is associated with the immunopathogenesis of hematological tumors and serves as an important biomarker in various types of cancer. CCR4 is involved in tumor growth and metastasis of many malignancies including gastric cancer. CCR4 is involved in tumor-induced immunosuppression. Mutations in CCR4 is associated with adult T cell leukaemia/lymphoma.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
