A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminal of human CXCR4 .Remarks: Sequence is different to the related rat sequence by two amino acids.
CXCR4 is the receptor for the CXC chemokine SDF1 that has essential functions on embryo organogenesis, immunological functions and T lymphocyte trafficking. CXCR4 is the only SDF1 receptor identified so far. This suggests that CXCR4 expression is critical for the biological effects of SDF1. CXCR4 is a seven-transmembrane-spanning, G-protein-coupled receptor for the CXC chemokine PBSF/SDF-1, it functions as a co-receptor for T-cell-line tropic human immunodeficiency virus HIV-1. Tachibana et al. (1998) conclude that PBSF/SDF-1 and CXCR4 define a new signalling system for organ vascularization.Synonyms: C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4, CXC-R4, CXCR-4, FB22, Fusin, HM89, LCR1, LESTR, Leukocyte-derived seven transmembrane domain receptor, NPYRL, SDF1 receptor, Stromal cell-derived factor 1 receptor
