It is a member of the G-protein-coupled receptor family and has a molecular mass of approximately 43 kDa. CCR2 is primarily expressed on monocytes dendritic cells and certain subsets of T cells. It functions as a receptor for monocyte chemoattractant proteins (MCPs) with MCP-1 (CCL2) being the most well-known ligand. The interaction between CCR2 and its ligands directs the movement of these immune cells to sites of inflammation or tissue injury.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nCCR2 plays an important role in mediating leukocyte migration. It acts in the immune system to guide monocytes from the bloodstream into tissues contributing to immune surveillance and response. CCR2 operates not as part of a larger receptor complex but it does interact closely with other chemokine receptors which may influence its signaling. The receptor's activity has critical implications for inflammatory processes and lies at the heart of many immune responses.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nCCR2 is integrally involved in the chemokine signaling pathway and the inflammatory response pathway. Its function in these pathways highlights its role in modulating immune cell infiltration during immune challenges. The receptor also interfaces with other important signaling proteins such as CCR5 which like CCR2 is another chemokine receptor involved in mediating immune cell movement. These interactions overlap and complement each other offering nuanced regulation of immune cell dynamics.\u003cbr\u003e\nCCR2 has connections to conditions such as atherosclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. In atherosclerosis the receptor's involvement in monocyte recruitment to the arterial wall is an important step in plaque formation. Its role in rheumatoid arthritis centers on the promotion of leukocyte infiltration into the joint tissues contributing to inflammation and joint damage. CCR2's connection to such disorders often aligns with a similar role played by other chemokine receptors like CCR5 highlighting its relevance in inflammation-related pathologies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46845151412393,"sku":"ab273716","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab273716","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
