Biochem/physiol Actions

C-C motif chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) is a receptor for chemokine ligands-3, -4 and -5. It acts as a co-receptor for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) entry in cells.The protein also has a role in leukocyte chemotaxis. CCR5 indirectly influence the aggregation of immune cells at the site of viral infection on mucosal surfaces. It also modulates activation of immune cells during inflammation.
