Ligand engagement signals through pertussis toxin-sensitive Gαi to inhibit adenylyl cyclase and through Gi/Go–PLC–PKCδ–NF-κB to drive chemotaxis [PMID:9687537, PMID:11943214], with a parallel Gα14/16–IL-6–STAT3 autocrine loop producing CXCL8 in macrophages [PMID:23125416]; receptor activity is terminated by C-terminal serine/threonine phosphorylation-dependent desensitization that is subject to cross-regulation by CXCR1/CXCR2 [PMID:10734056]. Beyond agonist-driven signaling, CCR1 displays constitutive activity, recruiting β-arrestin-2 and undergoing G protein-independent internalization while simultaneously engaging Gαi in a multiprotein complex [PMID:24056371]; cryo-EM structures of the CCR1–Gi complex identify Tyr291 (Y291^7.43) in TM7 as the conformational switch governing biased G protein versus β-arrestin signaling, and demonstrate that distinct CCL15 N-terminal truncations act as balanced or biased agonists [PMID:34949837].

CCR1 expression is induced by inflammatory cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-12/STAT4, TGF-β1) on neutrophils, Th1 cells, and astrocytes, broadening the range of CCR1-responsive cell types [PMID:9886422,
