Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 12770 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable C-C chemokine binding activity; C-C chemokine receptor activity; and phosphatidylinositol phospholipase C activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including monocyte chemotaxis; positive regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; and positive regulation of monocyte chemotaxis. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; gut; immune system; and liver and biliary system. 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: Mice homozygous for a targeted null mutation do not exhibit any significant abnormalities compared to controls. Homozygous KO does not affect the response to chemokines of chemokine receptors in eosinophils. [provided by MGI curators] |
