Gene name

DARC (HGNC Symbol)

Synonyms

ACKR1, CCBP1, CD234, Dfy, FY, GPD

Description

Duffy blood group, atypical chemokine receptor (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a glycosylated membrane protein and a non-specific receptor for several chemokines. The encoded protein is the receptor for the human malarial parasites Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium knowlesi. Polymorphisms in this gene are the basis of the Duffy blood group system. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
