{"symbol":"ACKR3","synonyms":["CXC-R7","CXCR7","CMKOR1","GPR159","CXCR-7"],"name":"atypical chemokine receptor 3","description":"This gene encodes a member of the G-protein coupled receptor family. Although this protein was earlier thought to be a receptor for vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), it is now considered to be an orphan receptor, in that its endogenous ligand has not been identified. The protein is also a coreceptor for human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV). Translocations involving this gene and HMGA2 on chromosome 12 have been observed in lipomas.
