Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 5 (also CCL5) is a protein which in humans is encoded by the CCL5 gene.[5] The gene has been discovered in 1990 by in situ hybridisation and it is localised on 17q11.2-q12 chromosome.[6]

It is also known as RANTES (regulated on activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted). RANTES was first described by Dr. Tom Schall who named the protein, the original source of the name Rantes was from the Argentine movie Man Facing Southeast about an alien who shows up in a mental ward who was named Rantés, the rather clunky acronym was only made to fit the name.[7]
