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. This protein is expressed by T cells and macrophages and is known to be an important co-receptor for macrophage-tropic virus including HIV to enter host cells. Defective alleles of this gene have been associated with the HIV infection resistance. The ligands of this receptor include monocyte chemoattractant protein 2 (MCP-2) macropha

OBSERVATIONS

Complication Evidence PMID
Nephropathy1. neferine can decrease the expression of CCL5 and CCR5 in the superior cervical ganglion (SCG) and reduce the SCG neuronal signaling mediated by CCL5 and CCR5 in regulating diabetic cardiovascular autonomic complications23063706
Atherosclerosis1. Overexpression of the CCR5 receptor should be considered as a factor that promotes the development of atherosclerosis in diabetic patients16708639

Insulin resistance and Inflammation1. Third, and most important, two distinct models, both Ccr5 (-/-) mice and chimeric mice lacking CCR5 only in myeloid cells, are protected from insulin resistance and diabetes through reduction in ATM accumulation. 23805406
