Svensk definition
Cellyteglykoproteiner som binder till kemokiner och sålunda förmedlar vandring av proinflammatoriska molekyler. Receptorerna ingår i den "seven-transmembrane"-G-proteinbundna receptorfamiljen. Precis som kemokinerna själva, kan receptorerna indelas i åtminstone tre strukturella grenar: CR, CCR och CXCR, beroende på variationer i ett gemensamt cysteinmotiv.
Engelsk definition
Cell surface glycoproteins that bind to chemokines and thus mediate the migration of pro-inflammatory molecules. The receptors are members of the seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor family. Like the CHEMOKINES themselves, the receptors can be divided into at least three structural branches: CR, CCR, and CXCR, according to variations in a shared cysteine motif.
