Data Sheet
Background: Chemokines and their receptors play a vital role in the regulation of responses in the immune system and in the recruitment of certain lymphocytes. The human chemokine receptor XCR1 is a G-protein-coupled receptor with 333 amino acids. Specifically, XCR1 has been associated with the induction of chemotaxis and has been identified in neutrophils, t-lymphocytes, b-lymphocytes through RT-PCR.
Application: Functional assays
