CXCR1 C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 1

Gene ID: 3577, updated on 16-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: C-C; CD128; CD181; CKR-1; IL8R1; IL8RA; CMKAR1; IL8RBA; CDw128a; C-C-CKR-1

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the G-protein-coupled receptor family. This protein is a receptor for interleukin 8 (IL8). It binds to IL8 with high affinity, and transduces the signal through a G-protein activated second messenger system. Knockout studies in mice suggested that this protein inhibits embryonic oligodendrocyte precursor migration in developing spinal cord. This gene, IL8RB, a gene encoding another high affinity IL8 receptor, as well as IL8RBP, a pseudogene of IL8RB, form a gene cluster in a region mapped to chromosome 2q33-q36.
