CCRL2 is a gene that in humans encodes the chemokine receptor CCRL2. This receptor is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family, which are integral membrane proteins that respond to various stimuli like light, hormones, and neurotransmitters. The CCRL2 gene is located on the chromosome 3 at position 3p21.31.
Function[edit]
The CCRL2 receptor is involved in the immune response and inflammation. It is expressed in various tissues, including the lung, liver, kidney, and immune cells such as monocytes and macrophages. The receptor is known to bind chemokines, which are small proteins that direct the migration of white blood cells to sites of inflammation or injury.
Clinical significance[edit]
Alterations in the CCRL2 gene have been associated with various diseases. For example, increased expression of CCRL2 has been observed in rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and cancer. In cancer, CCRL2 may promote tumor growth and metastasis by attracting immune cells that suppress the anti-tumor immune response.
Research[edit]
Research on CCRL2 is ongoing to better understand its role in health and disease. For example, studies are investigating how CCRL2 contributes to the immune response and inflammation, and how it might be targeted for therapeutic purposes in diseases like cancer and autoimmune disorders.
