Chimiokine

Les chimiokines (parfois appelées, par anglicisme, chémokines) sont une famille de petites protéines, majoritairement solubles, de 8-14 kilodaltons. Les chimiokines sont des cytokines chimiotactiques qui contrôlent les motifs de migration et le positionnement des cellules immunitaires. Leur fonction la plus étudiée est l'attraction (chimiotactisme) et le contrôle de l'état d'activation des cellules du système immunitaire. D'autres fonctions leur ont été aussi attribuées, dans le développement embryologique ou la physiologie du système nerveux par exemple.

Chemokine receptor

Chemokine receptors are cytokine receptors found on the surface of certain cells that interact with a type of cytokine called a chemokine. There have been 20 distinct chemokine receptors discovered in humans. Each has a rhodopsin-like 7-transmembrane (7TM) structure and couples to G-protein for signal transduction within a cell, making them members of a large protein family of G protein-coupled receptors. Following interaction with their specific chemokine ligands, chemokine receptors trigger a flux in intracellular calcium (Ca2+) ions (calcium signaling).

CCL5

Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 5 (also CCL5) is a protein which in humans is encoded by the CCL5 gene. The gene has been discovered in 1990 by in situ hybridisation and it is localised on 17q11.2-q12 chromosome. It is also known as RANTES (regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted). RANTES was first described by Dr. Tom Schall who named the protein, the original source of the name Rantes was from the Argentine movie Man Facing Southeast about an alien who shows up in a mental ward who was named Rantés, the rather clunky acronym was only made to fit the name.
