description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables C-C chemokine receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within CD8-positive, gamma-delta intraepithelial T cell differentiation and chemotaxis. Predicted to be located in cell surface. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; immune system; intestine; and retina. Orthologous to human CCR9 (C-C motif chemokine receptor 9). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice have altered trafficing of lymphocytes to the intestine. [provided by MGI curators] |
