Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a receptor for C-C type chemokines. It belongs to family 1 of the G protein-coupled receptors. This receptor binds and responds to a variety of chemokines, including eotaxin (CCL11), eotaxin-3 (CCL26), MCP-3 (CCL7), MCP-4 (CCL13), and RANTES (CCL5). It is highly expressed in eosinophils and basophils, and is also detected in TH1 and TH2 cells, as well as in airway epithelial cells. This receptor may contribute to the accumulation and activation of eosinophils and other inflammatory cells in the allergic airway. It is also known to be an entry co-receptor for HIV-1. This gene and seven other chemokine receptor genes form a chemokine receptor gene cluster on the chromosomal region 3p21. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.

Protein	Gene	Interaction	Pubs
Envelope surface glycoprotein gp120	env	The coreceptor-binding site in HIV-1 gp120 is centered around an anti-parallel beta-sheet structure 'bridging sheet domain'; mutations in and adjacent to this domain affect the use of coreceptors CCR3 and CCR8 by gp120 for virus entry	PubMed
	env	CCR3 is an alternative coreceptor usage by R5-tropic HIV-1 type C gp120/gp41, although its usage frequency is less than that of CCR5 coreceptor	PubMed
	env	HIV-1 gp120 utilization of CCR3 as a coreceptor facilitates infection by a more restricted subset of primary viruses, and binding of the CCR3 ligand, eotaxin, inhibits infection by these isolates	PubMed
	env	Utilization of CCR3 and CCR5 as coreceptors of HIV-1 binding/fusion depends upon the sequence of the third variable (V3) region of the HIV-1 gp120 exterior envelope glycoprotein	PubMed
	env	Macrophage-tropic HIV-1 can use CCR2b, and to a lesser extent CCR3, STRL33, and APJ, to infect cells; the V1/2 region of HIV-1 gp120 plays a more important role in governing the use of CCR2b, CCR3, STRL33, and APJ than for CXCR4	PubMed
	env	Amino acid N356 in conserved region 3 of HIV-1 gp120 and amino acids R440 and N448 in conserved region 4 of gp120 are three amino-acid determinants for CCR3 use as a coreceptor for HIV-1 entry into cells	PubMed
	env	HIV-1 isolates showing CCR3 tropism are particularly efficient in using CMKLR1/ChemR23 as a co-receptor; some HIV-2 and SIV isolates also use CMKLR1/ChemR23	PubMed
Envelope transmembrane glycoprotein gp41	env	CCR3 is an alternative coreceptor usage by R5-tropic HIV-1 type C gp120/gp41, although its usage frequency is less than that of CCR5 coreceptor	PubMed
Nef	nef	HIV-1 Nef induces variable levels of CCR3 downregulation in different cell types	PubMed
Tat	tat	HIV-1 Tat-mediated activation of the CB2R leads to altered expression and compartmentation of the beta-chemokine receptor CCR-3	PubMed
	tat	HIV-1 Tat-induced platelet activation requires the chemokine receptor CCR3 and beta3-integrin expression on platelets and calcium flux in platelets	PubMed
	tat	HIV-1 Tat binds to CCR3 and displaces MCP-3 from this beta-chemokine receptor, an effect mediated by Tat amino acids 24-51	PubMed
	tat	HIV-1 Tat upregulates CCR3 expression on monocytes/macrophages, Fc epsilonRI+ cells and blood brain barrier cultures, and acts as a potent chemoattractant, indicating a role for Tat in HIV-1 pathogenesis and in promoting HIV-1 infectivity	PubMed

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
