DESCRIPTION

Also known as CCR5_HUMAN, CCR5, CMKBR5. Receptor for a number of inflammatory CC-chemokines including CCL3/MIP-1-alpha, CCL4/MIP-1-beta and RANTES and subsequently transduces a signal by increasing the intracellular calcium ion level. May play a role in the control of granulocytic lineage proliferation or differentiation. Participates in T-lymphocyte migration to the infection site by acting as a chemotactic receptor (PubMed:30713770)., (Microbial infection) Acts as a coreceptor (CD4 being the primary receptor) of human immunodeficiency virus-1/HIV-1. Interacts with PRAF2 (PubMed:15757671). Efficient ligand binding to CCL3/MIP-1alpha and CCL4/MIP-1beta requires sulfation, O-glycosylation and sialic acid modifications. Glycosylation on Ser-6 is required for efficient binding of CCL4 (PubMed:11733580, PubMed:8663314, PubMed:8699119, PubMed:10383387). Interacts with GRK2 (PubMed:10085131). Interacts with ARRB1 and ARRB2 (PubMed:11448957, PubMed:16144840). Interacts with CNIH4 (PubMed:24405750). Interacts with S100A4; this interaction stimulates T-lymphocyte chemotaxis (PubMed:30713770).
