Data Sheet

Background: CCR9 (C-C chemokine receptor type 9) is a thymus-specific receptor for chemokine CCL25 (SCYA25 or TECK). It is an alternative co-receptor with CD4 for HIV-1 infection. Activation of the receptor may lead to potent cFLIP(L)- independent resistance to cycloheximide-induced apoptosis and modest resistance to Fas-mediated apoptosis possibly via activation of multiple signaling components involving Akt and glycogen synthase kinase 3β. Thus, dissection of signaling components involved in the CCR9-mediated antiapoptosis could be a framework for cell survival mechanisms and may provide options for therapeutic interventions.

Application: Functional assays
