This gene is one of several Cys-Cys (CC) cytokine genes clustered on the q arm of chromosome 17. Cytokines are a family of secreted proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The CC cytokines are proteins characterized by two adjacent cysteines.Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 18 (CCL18) is a small cytokine belonging to the CC chemokine family that was previously called PARC (pulmonary and activation-regulated chemokine). CCL18 is approximately 60% identical in amino acid sequence to CCL3. It is expressed at high levels in lung and at lower levels in certain lymphoid tissues, such as the lymph nodes, and is chemotactic for activated T cells and nonactivated lymphocytes.The gene for human CCL18 contains three exons and is located on chromosome 17.

Mouse Pulmonary activation regulated chemokine (PARC) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate PARC/CCL18 in samples. An antibody specific for PARC/CCL18 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyPARC/CCL18 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for PARC/CCL18 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of PARC/CCL18 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
