The CXCR5 gene was identified as a gene specifically expressed in Burkitts lymphoma and lymphatic tissues. CXCR5 protein is predicted to be a seven transmembrane G protein coupled receptor and belongs to the CXC chemokine receptor family. BLC, a B lymphocyte chemoattractant, was identified to be a specific ligand for this receptor. Studies of the gene and its mouse conterpart strongly suggest the essential function of the protein is in B cell migration and localization within specific anatomic compartments, such as follicles in lymph nodes as well as in spleen.
