Generic protein structure example

C-C chemokine receptor type 11 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CCRL1 gene.[1][2]

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family, and is a receptor for C-C type chemokines. This receptor has been shown to bind dendritic cell- and T cell-activated chemokines including CCL19/ELC, CCL21/SLC, and CCL25/TECK. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been described.[2]
