NCIt definition : C-C chemokine receptor type 8 (355 aa, 41 kDa) is encoded by the human CCR8 gene. This protein is involved in chemokine signaling.;

NCIt note : Chemokine (C-C Motif) Receptor 8, encoded by the CCR8 gene, is a member of the beta chemokine receptor family and a seven transmembrane protein similar to G protein-coupled receptor. This receptor is expressed preferentially in the thymus. I-309, thymus activation-regulated cytokine (TARC) and macrophage inflammatory protein-1 beta (MIP-1 beta) are ligands of this receptor. This receptor and its ligands regulate monocyte chemotaxis and thymic cell apoptosis. More specifically, this receptor may contribute to the proper positioning of activated T cells within the antigenic challenge sites and specialized areas of lymphoid tissues.;
