Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 7 (CCL7) is a small cytokine known as a chemokine that was previously called monocyte-specific chemokine 3 (MCP3). Due to CCL7 possessing two adjacent N-terminal cysteine residues in its mature protein it is classified among the subfamily of chemokines known as CC chemokines. CCL7 specifically attracts monocytes and regulates macrophage function. It is produced by certain tumor cell lines and by macrophages.
