Target intelligence / Profile preview

Chemokine ligand 21 receptor (CCR7)

Target
CCR7
Molecular classification
G protein-coupled receptor, Receptor
01

Overview

CCR7 (C-C chemokine receptor type 7), also known as CD197, is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that binds to the chemokines CCL19 and CCL21. It plays a crucial role in immune cell trafficking to secondary lymphoid organs and is involved in both anti-tumor immunity and cancer metastasis. Due to its complex roles, therapeutic targeting of CCR7 requires careful consideration of the specific disease context.
