| Protein Function | Acts as a ligand for C-C chemokine receptor CCR2.Signals through binding and activation of CCR2 and induces a strong chemotactic response and mobilization of intracellular calcium ions .Exhibits a chemotactic activity for monocytes and basophils but not neutrophils or eosinophils.Plays an important role in mediating peripheral nerve injury-induced neuropathic pain.Increases NMDA-mediated synaptic transmission in both dopamine D1 and D2 receptor-containing neurons, which may be caused by MAPK/ERK-dependent phosphorylation of GRIN2B/NMDAR2B. |

| Significance in milk | CCL2 is a novel target for improving the quantity and quality of milk from cows through stimulation of proliferation on mammary epithelial cells and attenuation of LPS-induced inflammatory responses. |
