C-C chemokine receptor type 7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CCR7 gene.[1]

CCR7 has also recently been designated CD197 (cluster of differentiation 197).

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family. This receptor was identified as a gene induced by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and is thought to be a mediator of EBV effects on B lymphocytes. This receptor is expressed in various lymphoid tissues and activates B and T lymphocytes. It has been shown to control the migration of memory T cells home to secondary lympho-organ, such as lympho-nodes, as well as stimulate dendritic cell maturation. The chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 19 (CCL19/ELC) has been reported to be a specific ligand of this receptor.[2]
