Target Background	Eotaxin-2/CCL24, also named MPIF-2 and Ckβ6, is a novel CC chemokine recently identified. It is produced by activated monocytes and T lymphocytes. Eotaxin-2 selectively chemoattracts cells expressing CCR3 including eosinophils, basophils, Th2 T cells, mast cells, and certain subsets of dendritic cells. Additionally, Eotaxin-2 inhibits the proliferation of multipotential hematopoietic progenitor cells. The mature protein, which also includes a C-terminal truncation, contains 78 amino acid residues (92 a.a. residues for the mouse homolog, without C-terminal truncation).

Protein Information
Name	CCL24 (HGNC:10623)
Function	Chemotactic for resting T-lymphocytes, and eosinophils (PubMed:9104803, PubMed:9365122). Has lower chemotactic activity for neutrophils but none for monocytes and activated lymphocytes (PubMed:9104803, PubMed:9365122). Is a strong suppressor of colony formation by a multipotential hematopoietic progenitor cell line (PubMed:9104803, PubMed:9365122). Binds to CCR3 (PubMed:9104803, PubMed:9365122).
Cellular Location	Secreted
Tissue Location	Activated monocytes and activated T lymphocytes.
