Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: This gene encodes a CXC chemokine receptor specific for stromal cell-derived factor-1. The protein has 7 transmembrane regions and is located on the cell surface. It acts with the CD4 protein to support HIV entry into cells and is also highly expressed in breast cancer cells. Mutations in this gene have been associated with WHIM (warts, hypogammaglobulinemia, infections, and myelokathexis) syndrome. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
  • UniProt Summary: Receptor for the C-X-C chemokine CXCL12/SDF-1 that transduces a signal by increasing intracellular calcium ion levels and enhancing MAPK1/MAPK3 activation. Acts as a receptor for extracellular ubiquitin; leading to enhanced intracellular calcium ions and reduced cellular cAMP levels. Involved in hematopoiesis and in cardiac ventricular septum formation. Also plays an essential role in vascularization of the gastrointestinal tract, probably by regulating vascular branching and/or remodeling processes in endothelial cells. Involved in cerebellar development. In the CNS, could mediate hippocampal-neuron survival. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10074102, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10644702, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10825158, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11276205, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17197449, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20048153, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20228059, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20505072, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8752280, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8752281}. (Microbial infection) Binds bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) et mediates LPS-induced inflammatory response, including TNF secretion by monocytes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11276205}.
