RANTES (GFM45-5)

Regulated upon activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES), also known as CCL5, is a chemokine produced by T cells three to five days after T cell activation. RANTES signals through G protein-coupled receptors CCR5, CCR3, CCR1, and through the human CMV-encoded viral receptor US28. RANTES functions to recruit immune cells to inflammatory sites.
