Mouse C-C Chemokine Receptor Type 2 - CCR2 ELISA Kit

Key functional receptor for CCL2 but can also bind CCL7 and CCL12 chemokines (PubMed: 8631787, PubMed: 8662823, PubMed: 8996246). Its binding with CCL2 on monocytes and macrophages mediates chemotaxis and migration induction through the activation of the PI3K cascade, the small G protein Rac and lamellipodium protrusion (By similarity). Also acts as a receptor for the beta-defensin DEFB106A/DEFB106B (By similarity). Regulates the expression of T-cell inflammatory cytokines and T-cell differentiation, promoting the differentiation of T-cells into T-helper 17 cells (Th17) during inflammation (PubMed: 28507030). Facilitates the export of mature thymocytes by enhancing directional movement of thymocytes to sphingosine-1-phosphate stimulation...

Facilitates the export of mature thymocytes by enhancing directional movement of thymocytes to sphingosine-1-phosphate stimulation and up-regulation of S1P1R expression; signals through the JAK-STAT pathway to regulate FOXO1 activity leading to an increased expression of S1P1R (PubMed: 29930553). Plays an important role in mediating peripheral nerve injury-induced neuropathic pain (PubMed: 29993042). Increases NMDA-mediated synaptic transmission in both dopamine D1 and D2 receptor-containing neurons, which may be caused by MAPK/ERK-dependent phosphorylation of GRIN2B/NMDAR2B (PubMed: 29993042). Mediates the recruitment of macrophages and monocytes to the injury site following brain injury (PubMed: 24806994, PubMed: 29632244).
