| Description | ChemiSCREEN™ CCR1 Membrane Preparation |
| Overview | Full-length human CCR1 cDNA |
| Background Information | CCR1 is a GPCR that binds to a variety of CC ligands, including MIP-1a, RANTES, MCP-3, HCC-1, HCC-2, HCC-4, and MPIF-1 (Olson and Ley, 2002). Lymphocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and GM-CSF-activated neutrophils express CCR1 (Kaufmann et al., 2001; Cheng et al., 2001). Two selective, non-peptide small molecule antagonists of CCR1, BX-471 and CP-481,715, have been synthesized (Gladue et al., 2003; Liang et al., 2000). Pharmacological and genetic targeting of CCR1, either alone or in combination with cyclosporin A, reduces cardiac and renal allograft rejection (Gao et al., 2000; Horuk et al., 2001a; Horuk et al., 2001b), allergic encephalomyelitis (Liang et al., 2000), and renal fibrosis (Anders et al., 2002) in experimental models. Chemicons CCR1 Membrane Preparations are ideal for screening molecules that disrupt interaction between CCR1 and its ligands. The CCR1 Membrane Preps bind to MIP-1a with a Kd of 1.8 nM, and yield greater than 10-fold signal to background ratio with a MIP-1a concentration of 0.1 nM. |

| Presentation | Liquid in packaging buffer: 50 mM Tris pH 7.4, 10% glycerol and 1% BSA with no preservatives. Packaging method: Membranes protein were adjusted to the indicated concentration in packaging buffer, rapidly frozen, and stored at -80°C. Each vial typically contains 500 units, where one unit is the amount of membrane prep that yields greater than 1000 cpm specific binding of 125I-labeled MIP-1α (0.1 nM input concentration). |

| Entrez Gene Number |
|
| Entrez Gene Summary | 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 ligands of this receptor include macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha (MIP-1 alpha), regulated on activation normal T expressed and secreted protein (RANTES), monocyte chemoattractant protein 3 (MCP-3), and myeloid progenitor inhibitory factor-1 (MPIF-1). Chemokines and their receptors mediated signal transduction are critical for the recruitment of effector immune cells to the site of inflammation. Knockout studies of the mouse homolog suggested the roles of this gene in host protection from inflammatory response, and susceptibility to virus and parasite. This gene and other chemokine receptor genes, including CCR2, CCRL2, CCR3, CCR5 and CCXCR1, are found to form a gene cluster on chromosome 3p. |
