CCL26 ( English CC chemokine ligand 26 ) is a cytokine belonging to the family of the C-C chemokines .
properties
CCL26 is involved in inflammatory processes. It is produced in the heart , lungs , ovaries and in interleukin-4 -stimulated endothelial cells . CCL26 binds to the CCR3 receptor on eosinophils and basophils .
