C-C motif chemokine receptor 5 mRNA (CCR5 mRNA)

Target
CCR5 mRNA
Molecular classification
Other (messenger RNA)
01

Overview

CCR5 mRNA is the transcript produced from the CCR5 gene located on chromosome 3, which encodes C-C motif chemokine receptor 5, a G protein-coupled receptor expressed on immune cells and involved in chemokine signaling, cell migration, and functioning as a co-receptor for HIV-1 entry. The abundance, stability, and translation efficiency of CCR5 mRNA regulate CCR5 protein expression and are controlled by several post-transcriptional mechanisms including ribosomal frameshifting, microRNA binding, and nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. While the transcript itself is rarely a therapeutic target, modulation of its level or stability can indirectly affect disease processes such as HIV infection or inflammation.

Biological functions

Template for CCR5 protein synthesisRegulation of CCR5 protein expression via mRNA stability and decaySubject to post-transcriptional regulation such as microRNA binding and RNA decay mechanisms
03

Disease associations

Indirectly involved in HIV infection (via encoding CCR5, an essential co-receptor for HIV entry)Indirectly associated with inflammation, cancer, and neurodegeneration (roles stem from CCR5 protein, not the mRNA itself)Variants/mutations (e.g., delta 32 deletion) may affect mRNA expression and downstream disease susceptibility
