CCR2 (C-C chemokine receptor type 2) is a 7-transmembrane protein of the G protein-coupled receptor 1 (GPCR1) family. CCR2 acts as a receptor for C-C type chemokines. Chemokines and their receptors mediated signal transduction are critical for the recruitment of effector immune cells to the site of inflammation. The CCR2 gene and other chemokine receptor genes, including CCR1, CCRL2, CCR3, CCR5 and CCXCR1, are found to form a gene cluster on chromosome 3p. CCR2 is a receptor for MCP-1 (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1), a chemokine which specifically mediates monocyte chemotaxis. MCP-1 is involved in monocyte infiltration in inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis as well as in the inflammatory response against tumors. CCR2 also binds to CCL2, CCL7 and CCL13 chemokines.  CCR2 is a receptor for the beta-defensin DEFB106A/DEFB106B. CCR2 mediates agonist-dependent calcium mobilization and inhibition of adenylyl cyclase. Upon CCL2 ligation, CCR2 mediates chemotaxis and migration induction through the activation of the PI3K cascade, the small G protein Rac and lamellipodium protrusion. CCR2 may act as an alternative co-receptor with CD4 for HIV-1 infection.

NCBI Gene ID: 729230

 

Uniprot Entry: P41597

 

Construct Details: Full length human CCR2 gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter and with or without an antibiotic selection marker, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells.  It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles. Multiple choices of a stable antibiotic selection marker are available.

 

Vector Type: pLTC or pLTC-IRES-Marker (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter +/- a selection marker, see the vector map above)

 

Formulation: Supplied with 10 μg of endotoxin-free plasmid DNA at 200 ng/μl in sterile TE buffer (pH8.0)

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:

(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;

(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CCAGGTTTCCGGGCCCTCAC-3’

 

 

Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification.  High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
