Involved in the AKT signaling cascade. Plays a role in regulation of cell migration, e.g. during wound healing. Acts as a receptor for extracellular ubiquitin; leading to enhanced intracellular calcium ions and reduced cellular cAMP levels. Binds bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) et mediates LPS-induced inflammatory response, including TNF secretion by monocytes. Involved in hematopoiesis and in cardiac ventricular septum formation. Also plays an essential role in vascularization of the gastrointestinal tract, probably by regulating vascular branching and\/or remodeling processes in endothelial cells. Involved in cerebellar development. In the CNS, could mediate hippocampal-neuron survival. ; (Microbial infection) Acts as a coreceptor (CD4 being the primary receptor) for human immunodeficiency virus-1\/HIV-1 X4 isolates and as a primary receptor for some HIV-2 isolates. Promotes Env-mediated fusion of the virus.. When interpreting results, consider species context, domain architecture, and whether the recombinant format represents full-length or a defined region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAntigen and virulence-factor studies that compare strain- or domain-specific binding and immune recognition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse of recombinant proteins as standards for quantitative assays and serology-oriented method development.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding and interaction assays:\u003c\/strong\u003e quantify partner binding and rank conditions using plate-based formats or biophysical methods (SPR\/BLI).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCell-based functional studies:\u003c\/strong\u003e evaluate dose–response and time-course effects in relevant cell systems when the target acts extracellularly or through receptor engagement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAssay development:\u003c\/strong\u003e use as a standard, spike-in control, or positive control where consistent specifications are required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterpretation typically relies on relative comparisons (treated vs control, mutant vs wild-type, or dose\/time series) using consistent sample handling and appropriate normalization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost-translational modifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e expression system can affect glycosylation and processing; interpret differences cautiously when comparing to native protein.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIsoforms and domains:\u003c\/strong\u003e expressed regions may not capture all isoform-specific features; match fragment boundaries to your assay’s binding site.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e include blank matrix controls, tag-only controls (where relevant), and orthogonal readouts (e.g., WB\/qPCR\/ELISA) to support interpretation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProt Knowledgebase entry for CXCR4 — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/ - NCBI Gene for CXCR4 — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/ - RCSB Protein Data Bank — RCSB PDB — https:\/\/www.rcsb.org\/ - PubMed (reviews and primary literature) — NCBI — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/ - Ensembl gene summary — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/ --\u003e","brand":"CUSABIO TECHNOLOGY LLC","offers":[{"title":"1 mg","offer_id":53059041231213,"sku":"CSB-EP006254HU1c0-1MG","price":1812.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug","offer_id":53059187081581,"sku":"CSB-EP006254HU1c0-100UG","price":419.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 ug","offer_id":53059187114349,"sku":"CSB-EP006254HU1c0-20UG","price":224.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/CSB-EP006254HU1c0-SDS.jpg?v=1772271394","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/recombinant-human-c-x-c-chemokine-receptor-type-4-cxcr4-partial-bhp10513175","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
