'''Human synthetic monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP)''' belongs to the superfamily of chemokines, which are proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. On chromosome 17 in region 17q11.2-q12 is the gene MCP1. The superfamily can be subdivided into 4 smaller groups, depending on the N-ter arangment of the cysteines. The MCP1<ref>PMID:8170963</ref> is also known as '''chemokine (C-C motif) ligand''' or: <br> | '''Human synthetic monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP)''' belongs to the superfamily of chemokines, which are proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes.

Post translational modifications at the N-terminus can regulate receptor and target cell selectivity. Deletion of the N-terminal residue converts it from an activator of basophil to an eosinophil chemoattractant. | Post translational modifications at the N-terminus can regulate receptor and target cell selectivity.

| - | Thanks to a combination of solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) and native chemical ligation (NCL), MCP1 was synthesized. Its thioester-peptide segment was made using the sulfonamide safety-catch linker and 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) SPPS and that is probably one of the first crystal structures prepared using these techniques. To facilitate the synthesis of both MCP1 fragments, pseudoproline dipeptides were used. Then, NCL was used to assembly the all chain and MCP1 was folded and oxidized by a glutathione redox buffer. | + | Thanks to a combination of solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) and native chemical ligation (NCL), MCP1 was synthesized.
