| Description | CCR6 belongs to the beta chemokine receptor family, which is predicted to be a 7 transmembrane protein similar to G protein-coupled receptors. CCR6 is preferentially expressed by immature dendritic cells and memory T cells. The ligand of CCR6 receptor is macrophage inflammatory protein 3 alpha (MIP-3 alpha). CCR6 receptor has been shown to be vital for B-lineage maturation and antigen-driven B-cell differentiation, and it may regulate the migration and recruitment of dentritic and T cells during inflammatory and immunological responsesSynonyms: C-C chemokine receptor type 6, LARC receptor, GPR-CY4, Chemokine receptor-like 3, DRY6, G-protein coupled receptor 29, CD196, C-C CKR-6, CC-CKR-6, CCR-6, GPRCY4, CKR-L3, CCR6, CKRL3, CMKBR6, GPR29, STRL22, BN-1, Ck6, DCR2, DRY-6, GPRCY4, GPR-CY4 |
