Recombinant Human C-C chemokine receptor type 1 (CCR1)

Uniprot Id

P32246

Target Species

Human

Target Name

CCR1

Target Full Name

C-C chemokine receptor type 1

Target Function

Receptor for a C-C type chemokine. Binds to MIP-1-alpha, MIP-1-delta, RANTES, and MCP-3 and, less efficiently, to MIP-1-beta or MCP-1 and subsequently transduces a signal by increasing the intracellular calcium ions level. Responsible for affecting stem cell proliferation.

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

G-protein coupled receptor 1 family

Target Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed in different hematopoietic cells.

Target Research Area

Immunology

Target Synonyms

CCR1; CMKBR1; CMKR1; SCYAR1; C-C chemokine receptor type 1; C-C CKR-1; CC-CKR-1; CCR-1; CCR1; HM145; LD78 receptor; Macrophage inflammatory protein 1-alpha receptor; MIP-1alpha-R; RANTES-R; CD antigen CD191

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the beta chemokine receptor family, which is predicted to be a seven transmembrane protein similar to G protein-coupled receptors. The ligands of this receptor include macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha (MIP-1 alpha), regulated on activation normal T expressed and secreted protein (RANTES), monocyte chemoattractant protein 3 (MCP-3), and myeloid progenitor inhibitory factor-1 (MPIF-1). Chemokines and their receptors mediated signal transduction are critical for the recruitment of effector immune cells to the site of inflammation. Knockout studies of the mouse homolog suggested the roles of this gene in host protection from inflammatory response, and susceptibility to virus and parasite. This gene and other chemokine receptor genes, including CCR2, CCRL2, CCR3, CCR5 and CCXCR1, are found to form a gene cluster on chromosome 3p.
