Chemokines play important roles in early embryogenesis, including morphogenesis and cell differentiation, before the immune system is established. We characterizedXenopus laevisCC‐type chemokine receptor 7 S (ccr7.S) to clarify its role during early development.ccr7transcripts were detected ubiquitously in early embryos. Dorsal overexpression ofccr7.Sinhibited gastrulation, andccr7.SmRNA‐injected embryos had short axes and widely opened neural folds. Because the Keller sandwich explants of the injected embryos elongated well,ccr7.Smight affect cell migration, but not convergent extension movements. Ventralccr7.Soverexpression induced secondary axes andchrd.1upregulation in gastrula‐stage embryos. Animal cap assays showed increased expression of neural and cement gland marker genes at later stages. Ccr7.S knockdown reducedchrd.1expression and inhibited gastrulation at the dorsal side. Our findings suggest thatccr7.Splays important roles in morphogenetic movement and cell differentiation.
