Hemokinski (C-C motivni) ligand 15 (CCL15) jest mali citokin koji pripada porodici CC hemokina, koji je poznat i kao leukotaktin-1, MIP5 i HCC-2. CCL15 se eksprimira u jetri, tankom i debelom crijevu, te u određenim leukocitima i makrofagima pluća.[3] Hemotaksijski
je za neutrofile, monocite i limfocite i izaziva učinke vezanjem na površinu ćelija hemokinskih receptora poput CCR1 i CCR3.[4][5] Ljudski CCL15 gen obuhvata četiri egzona i nalazi se u orijentaciji od glave do repa na hromosomu 17 sa genom drugog CC hemokina poznatog kao CCL14.[6]
