Ccr7 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables C-C chemokine receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of immune response; positive regulation of leukocyte chemotaxis; and regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within chemotaxis; homeostasis of number of cells; and immune response. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; immune system; reproductive system; and white fat. Used to study Sjogren's syndrome. Orthologous to human CCR7 (C-C motif chemokine receptor 7). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 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 Ccr7 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
