Agonist Comments | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Mouse CXCL16 has also been cloned [11]. CXCL16 is identical to SR-PSOX, an acronym for its ability to function as a scavenger receptor that binds phosphatidylserine and oxidized lipoprotein [2]. |
Immunopharmacology Comments |
CXCR6 is one of more than 20 distinct chemokine receptors expressed in human leukocytes. Chemokines primarily act to promote leukocyte chemotaxis to sites of inflammation. CXCR6 is upregulated by IL-2 and IL-15 [14]. |

Comments: CXCR6 functional assays also include Gi independent adhesion to CXCL16 expressing surfaces [12] and HIV-1 and SIV envelope glycoprotein-mediated cell-cell fusion or HIV-1 and SIV infectivity [3,7] | |
