Background

CCR5 (CC chemokine receptor 5; also CD195 and MIP-1a receptor) is a 41 - 44 kDa member of the G-protein coupled receptor #1 family of proteins.  It is expressed on Treg cells, NK cells, neurons, macrophages and Th1 cells. CCR5 mediates cell adhesion and migration induced by several chemokines including CCL3/MIP-1 alpha , CCL4/MIP-1 beta , CCL5/RANTES, and CCL8/MCP-2. It also functions as a coreceptor for macrophage-tropic HIV-1 infection. CCR5 contains an O-glycosylated and sulfated extracellular N-terminus (aa 1 - 32), and a phosphorylated and palmitoylated intracellular C-terminus (aa 304 - 354).  CCR5 will form homodimers, heterodimers with CCR2, and heterooligomers with CCR2 and CXCR4. Within aa 1 - 32, mouse CCR5 shares 72% and 91% amino acid sequence identity with human and rat CCR5, respectively.

Limitations

This product is for research use only and is not approved for use in humans or in clinical diagnosis. Primary Antibodies are guaranteed for 1 year from date of receipt.
