Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a receptor for monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, a chemokine which specifically mediates monocyte chemotaxis. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 is involved in monocyte infiltration in inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis as well as in the inflammatory response against tumors. The encoded protein mediates agonist-dependent calcium mobilization and inhibition of adenylyl cyclase. This protein can also be a coreceptor with CD4 for HIV-1 infection. This gene is located in the chemokine receptor gene cluster region of chromosome 3. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017].
  • UniProt Summary: Receptor for the CCL2, CCL7 and CCL13 chemokines (PubMed:23408426). Receptor for the beta-defensin DEFB106A/DEFB106B (PubMed:23938203). Transduces a signal by increasing intracellular calcium ion levels (By similarity). Upon CCL2 ligation, mediates chemotaxis and migration induction through the activation of the PI3K cascade, the small G protein Rac and lamellipodium protrusion (Probable). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P51683, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23408426, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23938203, ECO:0000305|PubMed:15995708}.
