CXCR-7 rabbit polyclonal, anti-human, mouse, rat, monkey

Backgroud: This gene encodes a member of the G-protein coupled receptor family. Although this protein was earlier thought to be a receptor for vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), it is now considered to be an orphan receptor, in that its endogenous ligand has not been identified. The protein is also a coreceptor for human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV). Translocations involving this gene and HMGA2 on chromosome 12 have been observed in lipomas. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],caution:Was originally (PubMed:1675791) thought to be the receptor for VIP.,function:Receptor for CXCL12/SDF1. Acts as coreceptor with CXCR4 for a restricted number of HIV isolates.,online information:CXC chemokine receptors entry,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.,tissue specificity:Expressed in monocytes, basophils, and B-cells. Lower expression in CD4+ T-lymphocytes and natural killer cells.,
