CCL5（C-C motif chemokine ligand 5） 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.蛋白别名为：CCL5; D17S136E; SCYA5; C-C motif chemokine 5; EoCP; Eosinophil chemotactic cytokine; SIS-delta; Small-inducible cytokine A5; T cell-specific protein P228; TCP228; T-cell-specific protein RANTES;基因ID为：6352；蛋白质ID:P13501
