C-C motif chemokine receptor 7 (CCR7) also known as EBI1, is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 17q12-q21.2. The encoded protein is a member of chemokine receptor family and is expressed mainly by B cells, T cells, and on activated mature dendritic cells (DCs).
CCR7 is a G protein-coupled seven-transmembrane domain receptor. It has two high-affinity ligands, secondary lymphoid chemokine (SLC) and EB11-ligand chemokine (ELC).
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human CCR7.
Immunogen Range: 170-219
Application
Anti-CCR7 antibody produced in rabbit has been used for proximity ligation assay (PLA).
Anti-CCR7 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunofluorescence[1] (1:50).
Biochem/physiol Actions
C-C motif chemokine receptor 7 (CCR7) harmonizes the antigen-specific immune response by combining T cells, B cells, and dendritic cells (DCs), to form functional microenvironments in the secondary lymphoid organs. CCR7 controls trafficking of skin DC under both inflammatory and steady-state conditions. This protein is also involved in emigration pathway of mature DCs from the skin to regional lymph nodes in vivo. CCR7 oligomers function acts as a scaffolds to link distinct signaling pathways for cell migration. Interaction of CCR7 with its ligand, CCL21/6ckine is essential for preferential lymph node metastasis of gastric carcinoma.
CCR7 can stimulate the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In human malignancies, CCR7 may act as an initiator of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).

Cutting edge: secondary lymphoid-tissue chemokine (SLC) and CC chemokine receptor 7 (CCR7) participate in the emigration pathway of mature dendritic cells from the skin to regional lymph nodes.
The effects of Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) differs in various types of cancers. However, its function in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is not well-explored. In this study, we investigated the effect of HDAC inhibition on EMT in
CCR7 governs skin dendritic cell migration under inflammatory and steady-state conditions.
