Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 25(CCL25) is a smallcytokinebelonging to the CCchemokinefamily that is also known as TECK (Thymus-Expressed Chemokine). CCL25 is believed to play a role in the development ofT-cells.[1]It ischemotacticforthymocytes,macrophages,anddendritic cells.CCL25 elicits its effects by binding to thechemokine receptorCCR9.[2][3]Human CCL25 is produced as aprotein precursorcontaining 151amino acids.The gene for CCL25 (scya25) is located on human chromosome 19.[4]
