Abstract excerpt
The chemokine SDF-1alpha transduces G(i)-dependent and -independent signals through CXCR4. Activation of Jak2/STAT3, a G(i)-independent signaling pathway, which plays a major role in survival signals, is known to be activated after SDF-1alpha binding to CXCR4 but the domains of CXCR4 involved in this signaling remain unexplored. Using human embryonic kidney HEK-293 cells stably expressing wild-type or mutated...
