Anti-CCR6/CCR6 Antibody Picoband®

CCR6, also termed CKRL3, encodes a 369-amino acid polypeptide with greatest similarity to the family of alpha-chemokine-binding receptors. Unlike most chemokine receptor genes, it is encoded by more than 1 exon. Weakly expressed as a 4-kb transcript in spleen, lymph nodes, peripheral blood lymphocytes and appendix, CCR6 gene is located at 6q27. As the receptor for MIP-3-alpha, its activation leads to phospholipase C-dependent intracellular Ca (2+) mobilization. Additionally, CCR6 are markedly upregulated in psoriasis.

C-C chemokine receptor type 6; C-C CKR-6; CC-CKR-6; CCR-6; Chemokine receptor-like 3; CKR-L3; DRY6; G-protein coupled receptor 29; GPR-CY4; GPRCY4; LARC receptor; CD196; CCR6; CKRL3, CMKBR6, GPR29, STRL22

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human CCR6, different from the related rat and mouse sequences by two amino acids.

Spleen, lymph nodes, appendix, and fetal liver. Expressed in lymphocytes, T-cells and B-cells but not in natural killer cells, monocytes or granulocytes.

Receptor for a C-C type chemokine. Binds to MIP-3- alpha/LARC and subsequently transduces a signal by increasing the intracellular calcium ions level. .
