Ackr2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable C-C chemokine binding activity; C-C chemokine receptor activity; and scavenger receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including calcium-mediated signaling; cell chemotaxis; and positive regulation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration. Predicted to act upstream of or within signal transduction. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including actin filament; cytosol; and nucleus. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Orthologous to human ACKR2 (atypical chemokine receptor 2). [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 rat Ackr2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
