C-C chemokine receptor type 3, also called CKR3, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CCR3 gene. 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 gene and seven other chemokine receptor genes form a chemokine receptor gene cluster on the chromosomal region 3p21. This receptor binds and responds to a variety of chemokines, including<a href=../search_result.php?search_txt=eotaxin>eotaxin</a>(CCL11),<a href=../search_result.php?search_txt=eotaxin>eotaxin-3</a>(CCL26),<a href=../search_result.php?search_txt=mcp>MCP-3</a>(CCL7),<a href=../search_result.php?search_txt=mcp>MCP-4</a>(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. Alteatively spliced transcript variants have been described.
