Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): Induces a strong chemotactic response. Induces calcium mobilization. Binds to CXCR6/Bonzo. Also acts as a scavenger receptor on macrophages, which specifically binds to OxLDL (oxidized low density lipoprotein), suggesting that it may be involved in pathophysiology such as atherogenesis. .
Scientific background (datasheet): CXCL16, Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 16, is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family. Larger than other chemokines (with 254 amino acids ), CXCL16 is composed of a CXC chemokine domain, a mucin-like stalk, a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic tail containing a potential tyrosine phosphorylation site that may bind SH2. By somatic cell hybrid analysis, the CXCL16 gene is mapped to 17p13, a locus separate from all other known chemokines. Chemotaxis assays found that CXCL16 induced a strong chemotactic response in activated CD8 T cells. In addition, CXCL16 induced calcium mobilization.
Cellular localization (datasheet): Membrane ; Single-pass type I membrane protein .
Tissue details (datasheet): Widely expressed. Not detected in purified B- and T-cells. .
Sequence similarities (datasheet): Belongs to the SFTPA family.
Research relevance and current trends
- Commonly studied in contexts related to Chemokines,Immunology,Innate Immunity,Macrophage/Inflammation.
- 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.
