Anti-CCR2 antibody [EPR22191],Abcam,AB227236

Target data Key functional receptor for CCL2 but can also bind CCL7, and CCL12 (PubMed : 23408426, PubMed : 38157855, PubMed : 8048929, PubMed : 8146186). Also transduces signaling mediated by CCL13 (PubMed : 38157855). Its binding with CCL2 on monocytes and macrophages mediates chemotaxis and migration induction through the activation of the PI3K cascade, the small G protein Rac and lamellipodium protrusion (PubMed : 38157855). Also acts as a receptor for the beta-defensin DEFB106A/DEFB106B (PubMed : 23938203). Regulates the expression of T-cell inflammatory cytokines and T-cell differentiation, promoting the differentiation of T-cells into T-helper 17 cells (Th17) during inflammation (By similarity). Facilitates the export of mature thymocytes by enhancing directional movement of thymocytes to sphingosine-1-phosphate stimulation and up-regulation of S1P1R expression; signals through the JAK-STAT pathway to regulate FOXO1 activity leading to an increased expression of S1P1R (By similarity). Plays an important role in mediating peripheral nerve injury-induced neuropathic pain (By similarity). Increases NMDA-mediated synaptic transmission in both dopamine D1 and D2 receptor-containing neurons, which may be caused by MAPK/ERK-dependent phosphorylation of GRIN2B/NMDAR2B (By similarity). Mediates the recruitment of macrophages and monocytes to the injury site following brain injury (By similarity).. (Microbial infection) Alternative coreceptor with CD4 for HIV-1 infection.
