Primary Identifier | MGI:104618 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 12768 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables C-C chemokine receptor activity. Involved in negative regulation of innate immune response. Acts upstream of or within inflammatory response; leukocyte chemotaxis; and myeloid cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in neuronal cell body and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including aorta-gonad-mesonephros; extraembryonic component; limb; and liver. Used to study Coronavirus infectious disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in allergic contact dermatitis and rheumatoid arthritis. Orthologous to human CCR1 (C-C motif chemokine receptor 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit altered trafficking and proliferation of myeloid progenitor cells, and impairments in granulomatous inflammation of the lung and neutrophil associated host defense.
