CCL13, hemokin (C-C motiv) ligand 13, je mali citokin iz CC hemokin familije. Njegov gen se nalazi na ljudskom hromozomu 17 unutar velikog klastera CC hemokina.[1][2] CCL13 indukuje hemotaksu monocita, eozinofila, T limfocita, i bazofila putem vezivanja za G-protein spregnute hemokin receptore kao što su CCR2, CCR3 i CCR5.[3] Aktivnost ovog hemokina je bila implicirana u alergijske reakcije kao što je astma.[4] CCL13 može biti indukovan inflamatornim citokinima interleukin 1 i TNF-α.[5]
