Receptor for CCL19 and chemerin/RARRES2. Does not appear to be a signaling receptor, but may have a role in modulating chemokine-triggered immune responses by capturing and internalizing CCL19 or by presenting RARRES2 ligand to CMKLR1, a functional signaling receptors. Plays a critical role for the development of Th2 responses. Expressed abundantly in immunal tissues such as spleen, fetal liver, lymph node and bone marrow. Strong expression also in lung and heart. Expressed in almost all hematopoietic cells including monocytes, macrophages, PMNs, T-cells (both CD4+ and CD8+), monocyte-derived iDCs, NK cells, and CD34+ progenitor cells. B-cells expressed isoform 1 but not isoform 2. Up-regulated on synovial neutrophils of rheumatoid arthritis patients. Up-regulated by CCL5 on the pre-B-cell lines NALM-6 and G2. Lacks the conserved DRYLAIV motif in the second intracellular loop that is required for signaling of functional chemokine receptors. It was initially reported that CCRL2 responds functionally to CCL2, CCL5, CCL7, and CCL8 via intracellular calcium mobilization and transwell chemotaxis although no evidence for a direct ligand-receptor interaction was provided in this report. These results are now controversial, and other studies failed to confirm CCRL2 recognition and transwell chemotaxis of these chemokines or a series of other CC- and CXC-chemokines using CCRL2-transfected cells (PubMed:15188357). Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
