Did you mean Chemokine Receptor?

GlossaryChemokine Receptor

protein on cell surface that binds signaling molecules called chemokines

A chemokine receptor is a type of protein found on the surface of certain cells that binds to chemokines, which are signaling molecules. This interaction helps direct the movement of immune cells to sites of inflammation, infection, or injury. Chemokine receptors play a crucial role in the immune response and are also involved in various diseases, including cancer and autoimmune disorders.
