Facts about C-C chemokine receptor type 4.
Can function as a chemoattractant homing receptor on circulating memory lymphocytes and as a coreceptor for some main HIV-2 isolates. In the CNS, could mediate hippocampal-neuron survival.

Predominantly expressed in the thymus, in peripheral blood leukocytes, including T-cells, mostly CD4+ cells, and basophils, and in platelets; at lower levels, in the spleen and in monocytes. Detected also in macrophages, IL-2-activated natural killer cells and skin-homing memory T-cells, mostly the ones expressing the cutaneous lymphocyte antigen (CLA). Expressed in brain microvascular and coronary artery endothelial cells.
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
