This gene encodes a member of the beta chemokine receptor family, which is predicted to be a seven transmembrane protein similar to G protein-coupled receptors. The gene is preferentially expressed by immature dendritic cells and memory T cells. The ligand of this receptor is macrophage inflammatory protein 3 alpha (MIP-3 alpha). This receptor has been shown to be important for B-lineage maturation and antigen-driven B-cell differentiation, and it may regulate the migration and recruitment of dentritic and T cells during inflammatory and immunological responses. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode the same protein have been described for this gene.,CCR6,BN-1,C-C CKR-6,CC-CKR-6,CCR-6,CD196,CKR-L3,CKRL3,CMKBR6,DCR2,DRY6,GPR29,GPRCY4,STRL22,Signal Transduction,G protein signaling,G-Protein-Coupled Receptors(GPCR),Immunology & Inflammation,CD markers,Cell Intrinsic Innate Immunity Signaling Pathway,Chemokines,Chemokine,CCR6
