Name | CCR5 (HGNC:1606) |
---|---|
Synonyms | CMKBR5 |
Function | Receptor for a number of inflammatory CC-chemokines including CCL3/MIP-1-alpha, CCL4/MIP-1-beta and RANTES and subsequently transduces a signal by increasing the intracellular calcium ion level. May play a role in the control of granulocytic lineage proliferation or differentiation. Participates in T-lymphocyte migration to the infection site by acting as a chemotactic receptor (PubMed:30713770). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Highly expressed in spleen, thymus, in the myeloid cell line THP-1, in the promyeloblastic cell line KG-1a and on CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells. Medium levels in peripheral blood leukocytes and in small intestine. Low levels in ovary and lung. |

Background
This gene encodes a member of the beta chemokine receptorfamily, which is predicted to be a seven transmembrane proteinsimilar to G protein-coupled receptors. This protein is expressedby T cells and macrophages, and is known to be an importantco-receptor for macrophage-tropic virus, including HIV, to enterhost cells. Defective alleles of this gene have been associatedwith the HIV infection resistance. The ligands of this receptorinclude monocyte chemoattractant protein 2 (MCP-2), macrophageinflammatory protein 1 alpha (MIP-1 alpha), macrophage inflammatoryprotein 1 beta (MIP-1 beta) and regulated on activation normal Texpressed and secreted protein (RANTES). Expression of this genewas also detected in a promyeloblastic cell line, suggesting thatthis protein may play a role in granulocyte lineage proliferationand differentiation. This gene is located at the chemokine receptorgene cluster region. Two transcript variants encoding the sameprotein have been found for this gene.
