(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1236
Official gene symbolCCR7
Full namechemokine (C-C motif) receptor 7
Aliases,BLR2,CD197,CDw197,CMKBR7,EBI1,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family. This receptor was identified as a gene induced by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and is thought to be a mediator of EBV effects on B lymphocytes. This receptor is expressed in various lymphoid tissues and activates B and T lymphocytes. It has been shown to control the migration of memory T cells to inflamed tissues, as well as stimulate dendritic cell maturation. The chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 19 (CCL19/ECL) has been reported to be a specific ligand of this receptor. [provided by RefSeq]
