Summary
This locus represents a small inducible cytokine. The encoded protein, also known as macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha, plays a role in inflammatory responses through binding to the receptors CCR1, CCR4 and CCR5. Polymorphisms at this locus may be associated with both resistance and susceptibility to infection by human immunodeficiency virus type 1.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010]
Annotation information
Note: This gene has been reviewed for its involvement in coronavirus biology, and is involved in cytokine storm inflammatory response.
Expression

Protein interactions

Protein Gene Interaction Pubs
Envelope surface glycoprotein gp120 env Vaccine with CCL3 inserted in the targeting unit induces a higher number of HIV-1 gp120-reactive T cells in vivo compared to gp120 only PubMed
env HIV-1 gp120 induces the release of cytokines MIP-1 alpha, MIP-1 beta, IL-6, IL10, and TNF-alpha in immature dentritic cells PubMed
env The CCR5 chemokine receptor is required for the entry of macrophage-tropic HIV-1 into target cells; the HIV-1 gp120-CD4 complex binds CCR5, which inhibits the binding of the natural CCR5 ligands macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1alpha and MIP-1beta PubMed
env HIV-1 gp120 binding causes increased expression of CCL3 in T cells PubMed
env Exposure of macrophages to purified CCR5- or CXCR4-tropic HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gp120 induces secretion of high levels of macrophage inflammatory protein 1alpha (MIP-1alpha), MIP-1beta, RANTES, and tumor necrosis factor alpha PubMed

env The neuroprotective action of VIP on gp120-induced neuronal cell death is attenuated by co-treatment with anti-MIP-1alpha, suggesting that the neuroprotective action of VIP is linked in part to its release of MIP-1alpha PubMed
env The chemokine receptor CCR5 is posttranslationally modified by sulfation of its N-terminal tyrosines; sulfated tyrosines contribute to the binding of CCR5 to MIP-1 alpha, MIP-1 beta, and HIV-1 gp120/CD4 complexes and to the ability of HIV-1 to enter cells PubMed
env N-formyl-methionyl-leucylphenyl-alanine binding to formyl peptide receptor (FPR) results in significant attenuation of cell responses to CCR5 ligands and in inhibition of HIV-1 gp120-mediated fusion and infection of cells expressing CD4, CCR5, and FPR PubMed

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
