CXCR5 Blocking Peptide (N-term)

Peptides; Blocking Peptides

This gene was identified as a gene specifically expressedin Burkitt's lymphoma and lymphatic tissues. The protein encoded bythis gene is predicted to be a seven transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor and belongs to the CXC chemokine receptor family.BLC, a B-lymphocyte chemoattractant, was identified to be aspecific ligand for this receptor. Studies of this gene and itsmouse conterpart strongly suggest the essential function of thisgene in B cell migration and localization within specific anatomiccompartments, such as follicles in lymph nodes as well as inspleen. Two alternatively spliced variants of this gene exist.
