Chemokine receptor CXCR-4 also refers as fusin or LESTR is a protein that belongs to G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. It is an essential cofactor for T cell-tropic HIV viruses into CD4+ cells. N-Terminal domain and second extracellular loop of the protein act as a HIV binding sites. Anti-CXCR4 (Fusin) (182-196) antibody can be used to block HIV-1 and HIV-2 fusion and infection of human target cells. Rabbit anti-CXCR4 (Fusin) (182-196) antibody reacts specifically with human CXCR4.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 182-196 of the second extracellular loop of human CXCR4.
Application
Anti-CXCR4 (Fusin) (182-196) antibody may be used in immunoblotting at a working antibody concentration of 0.5 - 1 μg/ml using human HeLa cell extract. It can also be used in immunohistochemistry.
Other Notes
The antigen (receptor) is also termed fusin, LESTER and HUMSTR.
Physical form
Solution in phosphate buffered saline containing 0.02% sodium azide.

Tasquinimod (ABR-215050) is an orally active quinoline-3-carboxamide analog that has completed phase II clinical trial in patients with castration resistant prostate cancer, showing promising inhibiting effects on the occurrence of metastasis and delayed disease progression. Its mechanism of action is

One of the major pathological outcomes of DNA damage during aging or anticancer therapy is enhanced inflammation. However, the underlying signaling mechanism that drives this is not well understood. Here, we show that in response to DNA damage, ubiquitously expressed

The chemokine receptor CXCR4 functions as a fusion coreceptor for T cell tropic and dual-tropic HIV-1 strains. To identify regions of CXCR4 that are important for coreceptor function, CXCR4-CXCR2 receptor chimeras were tested for the ability to support HIV-1 envelope
MIF is a chemokine-like inflammatory mediator that triggers leukocyte recruitment by binding to CXCR2 and CXCR4. MIF also interacts with CD74/invariant chain, a single-pass membrane-receptor. We identified complexes between CD74 and CXCR2 with a role in leukocyte recruitment. It is

Several chemotactic agonists including interleukin-8 (IL-8) and related cytokines have been shown to activate and attract leukocytes via seven-transmembrane domain, GTP-binding protein-coupled receptors. A cDNA clone, LESTR, encoding a protein of 352 amino acids, corresponding to a novel receptor of
