Dendritic cell and monocyte chemokine-like protein (DMC), also known as VEGF-correlated chemokine-1 (VCC-1), is a secreted molecule with a size and predicted three-dimensional folding pattern similar to that of chemokines CXCL8/IL-8 and CXCL14/BRAK. It has no predicted N-glycosylation sites, so cleavage of a 22 amino acid (aa) signal sequence likely results in a mature mouse DMC molecule of 97 aa and 11 kDa size. DMC is constitutively produced by airway and intestinal epithelium. It induces the chemotaxis of quiescent, but not LPSactivated peripheral blood monocytes and dendritic cells, and also binds these cells specifically.
