ACKR1 atypical chemokine receptor 1 (Duffy blood group) [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 2532)

Symbol: ACKR1

Full name: atypical chemokine receptor 1 (Duffy blood group)

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: CCBP1; CD234; DARC; DARC/ACKR1; Dfy; FY; GPD; GpFy; WBCQ1

Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a glycosylated membrane protein and a non-specific receptor for several chemokines. The encoded protein is the receptor for the human malarial parasites Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium knowlesi. Polymorphisms in this gene are the basis of the Duffy blood group system. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
