CCR2

Also known as

  • C-C Chemokine Receptor Type 2
  • C-C Motif Chemokine Receptor 2  
  • CD192
  • Cluster of differentiation 192
  • Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein 1 Receptor
  • Monocyte Chemotactic Protein 1 Receptor

 

Biological functions

  • Immunity
  • Antiviral responses
  • Pro-inflammatory responses

 

Clinical significance

Disorders associated with CCR2 variants include:

 

Protein profile

  • Size (amino acids) = 374
  • Molecular mass (Daltons) =  41,915
  • Quaternary structure: Interacts with ARRB1. Interacts (via extracellular N-terminal region) with beta-defensin DEFB106A/DEFB106B. Interacts with NUP85; the interaction is required for CCR2 clusters formation on the cell membrane and CCR2 signaling.
  • Protein family = Cell surface receptor.

 

Genetic profile

  • Species: Human
  • Chromosome: 3
  • Band: 3p21.31
  • Starts at base pair: 46,353,734
  • Ends at base pair: 46,360,928
  • Sequence length (base pairs): 7195
