NCIt definition : C-C chemokine receptor type 3 (355 aa, 41 kDa) is encoded by the human CCR3 gene.
This protein plays a role in eosinophil chemotaxis.;
NCIt note : C-C chemokine receptor type 3 (CCR3) binds and responds to a variety of C-C chemokines,
including eotaxin (CCL11), eotaxin-3 (CCL26), MCP-3 (CCL7), MCP-4 (CCL13), RANTES
(CCL5), and MIP-1 delta (CCL15). CCR3 is a coreceptor, with CD4, for human immunodeficiency
virus-1 (HIV-1). (EntrezGene and UniProt);
