The approximate molecular weight of CCR5 is 40 kDa. This protein belongs to the G-protein-coupled receptor family and it mainly binds to β-chemokines. CCR5 is abundantly expressed in immune tissues such as the spleen thymus and lymph nodes. Researchers often use assays like the CCR5 ELISA kit to detect or quantify its presence in various samples.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nCCR5 acts as a receptor for various chemokines specifically CCL3 CCL4 and CCL5 which are involved in leukocyte trafficking and immune response modulation. It plays an important role in the migration of immune cells to sites of inflammation or injury. This protein does not function in isolation; it sometimes forms part of larger complexes with other cell surface proteins to mediate responses to external signals. For example anti-CCR5 antibodies like 12D1 can modulate its activity and influence immune cell behavior.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nCCR5 is intricately involved in chemokine signaling pathways and inflammatory response pathways. Through these pathways it interacts with proteins such as CXCR4 and CCR1. CCR5 and CXCR4 another chemokine receptor are well-documented for their role in HIV entry into host cells. These pathways are critical for orchestrating immune cell movement and activating signaling cascades that promote immune defense mechanisms.\u003cbr\u003e\nCCR5 has a significant association with HIV infection and is a known co-receptor facilitating the virus's entry into immune cells. The presence of mutations like the Δ32 allele in the CCR5 gene provides resistance against HIV infection highlighting its importance in disease dynamics. CCR5 also plays a role in inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis where it contributes to the migration of immune cells into joints exacerbating inflammation. In these contexts CCR5 interacts with other inflammatory mediators offering potential therapeutic targets for drug development.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850455142569,"sku":"ab254377","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab254377","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
