Description
Chemokine-Like Receptor 1 (CMKLR1) is a serpentine transmembrane G-protein linked receptor. It is an orphan chemoattractant receptor, also known as ChemR23 or DEZ. CMKLR1 is expressed on the surface of monocyte-derived immature dendritic cells and peripheral plamacytoid dendritic (pDC) cells; but not on myeloid dendritic (mDC) cells, monocytes and lymphocytes. The expression of CMKLR1 on pDC is down-regulated after activation. Chemerin (TIG2) is a natural ligand of CMKLR1. The interaction of CMKLR1 with Chemerin induces pDC activation and chemotaxis. It has been shown that CMKLR1 is a coreceptor for several strains of SIV and HIV-1. CMKLR1 is a potential useful marker for distinguishing pDCs and mDCs
