Characterization of the molecular interactions of interleukin-8 (CXCL8), growth related oncogen alpha (CXCL1) and a non-peptide antagonist (SB 225002) with the human CXCR2.

Abstract excerpt

Neutrophil recruitment to inflammatory sites is mediated by two related receptors: CXC chemokine receptors 1 (CXCR1) and 2 (CXCR2). Both receptors share two ligands, interleukin-8 (CXCL8) and GCP-2 (CXCL6), whereas several chemokines, including growth related oncogen alpha (CXCL1) and a non-peptide antagonist (SB 225002) are specific for CXCR2. The objective of this study was to map the different amino acids...
