A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of human CCR5(19-34aa PCQKINVKQIAARLLP), different from the related rat sequence by two amino acids.
Human CC chemokine receptor 5(CCR5), which is 17.5 kb from the CMKBR2 gene, encodes a 352-amino acid protein with a calculated molecular mass of 40,600 Da. It is organized into four exons and two introns. Human CCR5 is a co-receptor for macrophage-tropic
