| Agonist Comments | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Stimulation by CCL19 does not result in typical chemokine-receptor-dependent cellular activation (e.g. calcium mobilization or migration) [15,24-25]. Biotinylated CCL2 binds to CCRL2-expressing HEK293 cells, although radioligand binding was not detected [4,26]. Chemerin blocked the binding of anti-mCCRL2 antibody to mouse peritoneal mast cells, but despite binding to the N-terminal domain of mCCRL2 with high affinity, chemerin elicited no functional response. CCRL2 appears to concentrate bioactive chemerin and facilitate its presentation to ChemR23 on adjacent cells [23,25]. Binding of chemerin to CCRL2 has been demonstrated to trigger adhesion of CMKLR1+ lymphoid cells through an α4β1 integrin/VCAM-1–dependent mechanism therefore CCRl2 plays a role in chemerin-dependent lymphocyte recruitment to inflamed airways, and the regulation of circulating chemerin levels [17]. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Immunopharmacology Comments |
| CCRL2 is one of more than 20 distinct chemokine receptors expressed in human leukocytes. Chemokines primarily act to promote leukocyte chemotaxis to sites of inflammation. However, the nomenclature of CCLR2 for this receptor and its classification as a member of the chemokine receptor family is provisional pending confirmation of chemokine binding. |

| Tissue Distribution Comments | ||||||||
| CCRL2 surface expression on the pre-B-cell lines Nalm6 and G2 is specifically upregulated in response to the inflammatory chemokine CCL5 (RANTES) [12]. CCRL2 mRNA and protein was rapidly (30 minutes) and transiently (2-4 hours) regulated during dendritic cell maturation [20]. CCRL2 mRNA expression is strongly upregulated in mouse lung after ovalbumin challenge and is localised in macrophages and bronchial epithelium, as shown by immunohistochemistry [19]. | ||||||||

| Three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (rs1154428, rs6808835, and rs6791599) in CCRL2 in linkage disequilibrium with CCR5Delta32 are associated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in at risk cardiovascular patients, suggesting that chemokine activity influences lipid levels in populations with preexisting cardiovascular disease [13]. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Human CCRL2 has two splice variants: CCRL2A (Acc. NM_003965) and CCRL2B (Acc. NM_001130910). Variant B encodes the predominant isoform, which is localized at the plasma membrane. It is alternatively spliced within the coding region and thus uses an earlier stop codon, as compared with the isoform A. Variant B has a distinct C-terminus and is 14 aa shorter than the isoform A [14]. Splice variants are differentially expressed in B-cells dependent on maturation stage [12]. |
| General Comments |
|
A study of the haplotype structure and linkage disequilibrium in chemokine and chemokine receptor genes reveals a cluster of four CC-chemokine receptor genes (CCR3, CCR2, CCR5 and CCRL2) on chromosome 3p21 [6-7]. CCRL2 neither internalizes its ligands nor transduces signals, but presents bound ligands to functional signaling receptors improving their activity [16,18]. CCRL2-predicted hepatitis C treatment response to pegylated interferon and ribavirin therapy has been verified by RT-qPCR [8]. |
