Gene information for CCR9 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID10803
Official gene symbolCCR9
Full namechemokine (C-C motif) receptor 9
Aliases,CDw199,GPR-9-6,GPR28,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a member of the beta chemokine receptor family. It is predicted to be a seven transmembrane protein similar to G protein-coupled receptors. Chemokines and their receptors are key regulators of the thymocytes migration and maturation in normal and inflammation conditions. The specific ligand of this receptor is CCL25. It has been found that this gene is differentially expressed by T lymphocytes of small intestine and colon, suggested a role in the thymocytes recruitment and development that may permit functional specialization of immune responses in different segment of the gastrointestinal tract. This gene is mapped to the chemokine receptor gene cluster region. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq]
