CCL27 se eksprimira u brojnim tkivima, uključujući gonade, timus, placentu i kožu. Izaziva svoje hemotaksijske efekte vezanjem za receptor za hemokine CCR10.[9] Gen za CCL27 kod ljudi nalazi se na hromosomu 9.[10] Studije sličnog mišjeg proteina ukazuju da ove interakcije protein-receptor imaju ključnu ulogu u T-ćelijama posredovanoj upali kože (prema RefSeq, Sep 2014).
