XCR1 - X-C motif chemokine receptor 1

The protein encoded by this gene is a chemokine receptor belonging to the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. The family members are characterized by the presence of 7 transmembrane domains. The encoded protein transduces a signal by increasing the intracellular calcium ion level. The viral macrophage inflammatory protein-II is an antagonist of this receptor and blocks signaling. Some studies have implicated a cluster of genes at 3p21.31, including this gene, as associated with COVID-19 risk. The encoded protein may also play a role in cell proliferation and migration in several types of cancer. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2023]
