COVID-19 research v0.347 CCR7 Alison Coffey commented on gene: CCR7: Evidence Summary from Illumina curation team: The CCR7 gene encodes the C-C chemokine receptor 7, a chemokine receptor which is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. CCR7 plays an important role in the homing of central memory and nave T cells to peripheral lymphoid organs. The binding of CCR7 ligands CCL19 and CCL21 during viral infection promotes activation and differentiation of CCR7 expressing cells, as well as changes in their migration properties to modulate the immune response (reviewed Yan et al. 2019). Some viral proteins target CCR7 and reduce its expression during viral infection (reviewed Yan et al. 2019), for example, the HIV-1 accessory protein, Vpu, interacts directly with CCR7 to cause its retention within the trans Golgi network of primary CD4+ T cells (Ramirez et al. 2014).
