Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): Receptor for the C-X-C chemokine CXCL16. Used as a coreceptor by SIVs and by strains of HIV-2 and m-tropic HIV-1.
Scientific background (datasheet): 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.
Cellular localization (datasheet): Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Tissue details (datasheet): Expressed in lymphoid tissues and activated T cells.
Sequence similarities (datasheet): Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
Research relevance and current trends
- Commonly studied in contexts related to Antiviral Signaling,Host-Virus Interaction,Immune System Diseases,Immunology,Interspecies Interaction,Microbiology.
- Supports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.
- Useful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): Compare relative target abundance and apparent size/isoforms across samples; interpret bands in light of expected MW and potential PTMs.
- ELISA: Measure target abundance in compatible matrices using a standard-curve readout; ensure dilution linearity and appropriate controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Assess tissue distribution and cell-type patterns; interpret staining with appropriate negative controls and antigen context.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify target-positive populations in single-cell suspensions; pair with viability and isotype/FMO controls conceptually.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms, post-translational modifications, and processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
- Cross-reactivity (datasheet): No cross-reactivity with other proteins
- Use appropriate positive and negative controls (e.g., KO/KD, blocking peptide, or isotype controls) to support specificity interpretation.
As a polyclonal antibody, this reagent may recognize multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may require careful specificity controls.
