Overview

Chemokines are a family of small, secreted proteins that act as regulators of cell migration and play an important role in immune and inflammatory responses. They are involved in the recruitment of immune cells, such as monocytes, lymphocytes, and neutrophils, to sites of infection or injury. Chemokines also play an important role in maintaining immune homeostasis and the integrity of the blood-brain barrier. As a result, they are an important target for therapeutic intervention in a range of diseases and disorders, including cancer, autoimmune, and infectious diseases.
