ACKR3 atypical chemokine receptor 3

Gene ID: 57007, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: RDC1; CXCR7; RDC-1; CMKOR1; CXC-R7; CXCR-7; GPR159

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the G-protein coupled receptor family. Although this protein was earlier thought to be a receptor for vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), it is now considered to be an orphan receptor, in that its endogenous ligand has not been identified. The protein is also a coreceptor for human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV). Translocations involving this gene and HMGA2 on chromosome 12 have been observed in lipomas. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
