A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of mouse CXCR6, different from the related rat sequence by two amino acids, and from the related human sequence by three amino acids.
CXCR6 (Chemokine,CXC Motif, Receptor 6), also known as STRL33, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CXCR6 gene. By Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA and somatic cell hybrid analysis, Liao et al. (1997) mapped the single-copy STRL33 gene to chromosome 3. Matloubian et al. (2000) found that human and mouse cells expressing CXCR6 showed a strong chemotactic response to CXCL16 but not to other chemokines. The authors concluded that CXCL16 and CXCR6 probably function in interactions between dendritic cells and T cells and in regulating T-cell migration in the splenic red pulp. Kim et al. (2001) concluded that CXCR6 may be important in the trafficking of effector T cells mediating type-1 inflammation.
