Overview
Anti-CXCR7 (ACKR3) (extracellular)-ATTO Fluor-488 Antibody is an antibody targeting Atypical chemokine receptor 3, C-X-C chemokine receptor type 7, CXCR-7, Chemokine orphan receptor 1, G-protein coupled receptor RDC1 homolog, CMKOR1, GPR159 Polyclonal raised in Rabbit (ATTO-488. Maximum absorption 501 nm; maximum fluorescence 523 nm. The fluorescence is excited most efficiently in the 480 - 515 nm range. This label is analogous to the dye fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and can be used with filters used to detect FITC.). This antibody is commonly used in FC, IHC, LCI to detect, localize, or compare expression of the target across samples.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: Atypical chemokine receptor 3, C-X-C chemokine receptor type 7, CXCR-7, Chemokine orphan receptor 1, G-protein coupled receptor RDC1 homolog, CMKOR1, GPR159 (also reported as Atypical chemokine receptor 3, C-X-C chemokine receptor type 7, CXCR-7, Chemokine orphan receptor 1, G-protein coupled receptor RDC1 homolog, CMKOR1, GPR159).
- Immunogen/epitope region: Extracellular, N-terminus.
- Homology note: Mouse -14/15 amino acid residues identical; human - 12/15 amino acid residues identical (informative for cross-species interpretation).
- Species reactivity (as provided): Human, Rat, Mouse.
- Cited use: FC (literature use does not guarantee performance in every setup).
- Lot quality control (as provided): Western blot analysis (unlabeled antibody, #ACR-037), and flow cytometry (labeled antibody)..
- Peptide confirmation: Confirmed by amino acid analysis and mass spectrometry.
- Blocking peptide: Available for antigen preadsorption control where appropriate.
These attributes help researchers interpret whether signal reflects the intended target in a given assay and sample context.
Biological background
Chemokines are molecules that control the migration and positioning of the immune system cells. In addition to their function as chemo-attractants they have various other roles in the maturation of immune cells such as T-cell development in the thymus and homeostatic retention of immune cells in the bone marrow1.Chemokines bind to chemokine receptors, members of the G-protein coupled receptor superfamily. They are comprised of seven transmembrane receptors with extracellular N-terminus, three extracellular and three intracellular loops and an intracellular C-terminus.
Research relevance and current trends
- Profiling immune-marker expression across cell subsets with single-cell or flow-based readouts.
- Connecting receptor/ligand levels to activation state and cytokine programs.
- Applying genetic perturbation or orthogonal assays to support specificity and interpretation.
Common research applications
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): examine spatial distribution in tissue and relate signal to cell-type composition.
- Flow cytometry (direct/indirect): quantify target-positive populations and shifts in expression across subsets.
- Live cell imaging (LCI): support extracellular-epitope detection on non-permeabilized cells when appropriate.
Interpretation typically benefits from comparing matched sample sets (e.g., treated vs control, WT vs KO/KD) and using orthogonal readouts where feasible.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isoforms and post-translational modifications can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility across samples.
- Cross-species signal may depend on epitope conservation; consult the provided homology note when selecting models.
- Permeabilization, fixation, and antigen retrieval can change accessibility of intracellular vs extracellular epitopes.
- Conceptual control: antigen preadsorption (blocking peptide) can help assess signal dependence on the immunogen region.
- Provided control suggestions: Negative control: RIC-001-AG.
- Application notes: see product-specific dilution/usage notes and control concepts provided in the dataset.
