Gene information for XCR1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2829
Official gene symbolXCR1
Full namechemokine (C motif) receptor 1
Aliases,CCXCR1,GPR5,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a chemokine receptor belonging to the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. The family members are characterized by the presence of 7 transmembrane domains and numerous conserved amino acids. This receptor is most closely related to RBS11 and the MIP1-alpha/RANTES receptor. It transduces a signal by increasing the intracellular calcium ions level. The viral macrophage inflammatory protein-II is an antagonist of this receptor and blocks signaling. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
