Figure 7. The role of isoQC for regulating monocyte recruitment in CCL2-driven disorders.

Figure 7

IsoQC is the major enzyme for maturation of CCL2 in vivo ensuring stability and receptor activation leading to monocyte migration. Application of small molecules, which inhibit isoQC provokes the secretion of immature forms (Q1-CCL2) prone to aminopeptidase cleavage generating truncated forms (}-CCL2), devoid of bioactivity under physiological conditions.
