Biochem/physiol Actions
MARC, a member of the β (CC) chemokine family of inflammatory and immunoregulatory cytokines, is a monocyte and T lymphocyte chemoattractant. MARC may be the mouse homolog of the human MCP-3 (monocyte chemotactic protein 3) gene.

MARC may be the mouse homolog of the human MCP-3 (monocyte chemotactic protein 3) gene. MARC/MCP-3 expression has also been detected during murine experimental allergic encephalomyelitis in the spinal cord and in LPS-stimulated murine WEHI -3 cells and Swiss 3T3 cells where MARC expression is glucocorticoid-attenuated. Mouse CCR-2 binds JE/MCP-1 with high affinity and MARC/MCP-3 with lower affinity.

Physical form
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in 30% acetonitrile and 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid containing 0.5 mg bovine serum albumin.
Analysis Note
The biological activity is measured by its ability to chemoattract 2-day cultured human monocytes.
