| Primary Identifier | MGI:106185 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 12772 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables C-C chemokine binding activity and C-C chemokine receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including mononuclear cell migration; positive regulation of cell migration; and regulation of cytokine production. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular defense response; monocyte chemotaxis; and regulation of leukocyte migration. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and liver and biliary system. Used to study Coronavirus infectious disease and age related macular degeneration. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Kawasaki disease; aggressive periodontitis; coronary artery disease (multiple); glucose metabolism disease (multiple); and uveitis (multiple). Orthologous to human CCR2 (C-C motif chemokine receptor 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit defects in leukocyte physiology that result in altered response to myocardial infarction and increased susceptibility to bacterial infection and colitis. Mice may also exhibit retinal degeneration and alcohol aversion depending on the knock-out allele. [provided by MGI curators] |
