Abstract excerpt
CXCL12 signaling through G protein-coupled CXCR4 regulates cell migration during ontogenesis and disease states including cancer and inflammation. The second CXCL12-receptor CXCR7 modulates the CXCL12/CXCR4 pathway by acting as a CXCL12 scavenger and exerts G protein-independent functions. Given the distinct properties of CXCR4 and CXCR7, we hypothesized that the distinct C-terminal domains differently regulate...
