CCR5 wt Allele
Human CCR5 wild-type allele is located within 3p21 and is approximately 6 kb in length. This allele, which encodes C-C chemokine receptor type 5 protein, plays a role in monocyte chemotaxis and G protein-coupled signal transduction. Defective alleles of this gene are associated with HIV infection resistance. (NCI Thesaurus)
