Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 19 (CCL19) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CCL19 gene.[5][6]

This gene is one of several CC cytokine genes clustered on the p-arm of chromosome 9. Cytokines are a family of secreted proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The CC cytokines are proteins characterized by two adjacent cysteines. The cytokine encoded by this gene may play a role in normal lymphocyte recirculation and homing. It also plays an important role in trafficking of T cells in thymus, and in T cell and B cell migration to secondary lymphoid organs. It specifically binds to chemokine receptor CCR7.[6]

Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 19 (CCL19) is a small

colon and low levels in stomach, small intestine, lung, kidney and spleen.[7] The gene for CCL19 is located on human chromosome 9.[8] This chemokine elicits its effects on its target cells by binding to the chemokine receptor chemokine receptor CCR7.[7] It attracts certain cells of the immune system, including dendritic cells and antigen-engaged B cells,[9][10] CCR7+ central-memory T-Cells.[11]
