Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables C-C chemokine binding activity and C-C chemokine receptor activity. Involved in positive regulation of angiogenesis and positive regulation of endothelial cell proliferation. Acts upstream of or within chemotaxis. Predicted to be located in endosome; extracellular space; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in embryo and yolk sac. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma; ovary epithelial cancer; and rhinitis. Orthologous to human CCR3 (C-C motif chemokine receptor 3).
