CCL4, also known as MIP-1 beta, is a 12 kDa beta chemokine that is secreted by activated leukocytes, lymphocytes, vascular endothelial cells, and pulmonary smooth muscle cells. CCL4 interacts with CCR5 to attract lymphocytes, NK cells, and immature dendritic cells to sites of inflammation. CCL4 also blocks the entry of HIV into CCR5-expressing cells. Human CCL4 and its variants are encoded by two paralogous genes(6 - 8), one of which (SCYA4) encodes CCL4 itself (9). The other gene (SCYA4L) is found in two alleles that give rise to CCL4L1 and CCL4L2, respectively. The human CCL4L1 cDNA encodes a 92 amino acid (aa) precursor with a 23 aa signal sequence. Alternate splicing yields an isoform with a 40 aa internal deletion. The second allele (SCYA4L2), encoding CCL4L2, is spliced into a variety of isoforms. Human CC4L1 shares greater than 98% aa sequence identity with CCL4 and CCL4L2. It shares 96% aa sequence identity with rhesus CCL4 and approximately 80 - 90% aa sequence identity with bovine, mouse, rabbit, and rat CCL4. The gene copy number for CCL4L1 varies from zero to five, but this is not associated with changes in mRNA or protein levels. CCL4 and CCL4L1 demonstrate comparable CCR5 binding, promotion of chemotaxis, and inhibition of HIV replication in stimulated PBMC. In vivo, the first two N-terminal amino acids of CCL4 are removed by DPPIV. The truncated form is as active as full-length CCL4 and gains the ability to bind CCR1 and CCR2b. Similar proteolytic processing of CCL4L1 has not been described.

Recombinant Human CCL4L1/MIP-1 beta Isoform LAG-1 Protein (rp184881) - SDS-PAGE
3 μg/lane of Recombinant Human CCL4L1/MIP-1 beta Isoform LAG-1 Protein was resolved with SDS-PAGE under reducing (R) and non-reducing (N) conditions and visualized by Coomassie® Blue staining, showing the bands at 12.1 kDa under reducing conditions and 11.6 & 19.9 kDa under non-reducing conditions.
The observation of protein as both dimers and monomers under non-reducing (NR) conditions suggests that a portion of the protein forms dimers.This dimerization may be mediated by (or stabilized by) disulfide bonds (UniProt: Q8NHW4).
