| Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 12774 |
| 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 negative regulation of macrophage apoptotic process. Acts upstream of or within defense response. 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. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Kawasaki disease; West Nile fever; autoimmune disease (multiple); berylliosis; and sarcoidosis (multiple). Orthologous to human CCR5 (C-C motif chemokine receptor 5). PHENOTYPE: Mice that are homozygous for null alleles have leukocytes with defective migration and adhesion, are more susceptibility to fungal & bacterial infections, have increased length of allograft survival, and have decreased susceptibility to endotoxin shock.
