Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): Receptor for a C-C type chemokine. Binds to MIP-3- alpha/LARC and subsequently transduces a signal by increasing the intracellular calcium ions level. .
Scientific background (datasheet): CCR6, also termed CKRL3, encodes a 369-amino acid polypeptide with greatest similarity to the family of alpha-chemokine-binding receptors. Unlike most chemokine receptor genes, it is encoded by more than 1 exon. Weakly expressed as a 4-kb transcript in spleen, lymph nodes, peripheral blood lymphocytes and appendix, CCR6 gene is located at 6q27. As the receptor for MIP-3-alpha, its activation leads to phospholipase C-dependent intracellular Ca (2+) mobilization. Additionally, CCR6 are markedly upregulated in psoriasis.
Cellular localization (datasheet): Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Tissue details (datasheet): Spleen, lymph nodes, appendix, and fetal liver. Expressed in lymphocytes, T-cells and B-cells but not in natural killer cells, monocytes or granulocytes.
Sequence similarities (datasheet): Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
Research relevance and current trends
- Commonly studied in contexts related to Chemokines,G Protein Signaling,Immunology,Innate Immunity,Signal Transduction,Signaling Pathway.
- 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.
