CCL18 is a chemokine containing four conserved cysteine residues, two of which are adjacent. It is expressed constitutively in lung tissues and transiently in alveolar macrophages and follicular dendritic cells induced by IL4, IL10, IL13, LPS, or PMA. Expression of CCL18 is inhibited by IFNG. CCL18 is chemotactic for activated T-lymphocytes, non-activated lymphocytes, and basophils and likely plays a role in initiation of immune responses. It is a ligand for CCR8 and GPER1.
