Gene information for DARC (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2532
Official gene symbolDARC
Full nameDuffy blood group, chemokine receptor
Aliases,CCBP1,CD234,Dfy,FY,GPD,GpFy,WBCQ1,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a glycosylated membrane protein and a non-specific receptor for several chemokines. The encoded protein is the receptor for the human malarial parasites Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium knowlesi. Polymorphisms in this gene are the basis of the Duffy blood group system. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
