Ccl7 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables CCR2 chemokine receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to ethanol; eosinophil chemotaxis; and positive regulation of natural killer cell chemotaxis. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; leg; lung; retina; and vertebral axis musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in multiple sclerosis. Orthologous to human CCL7 (C-C motif chemokine ligand 7). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ccl7 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
