DescriptionChemiSCREEN™ Membrane Preparation Recombinant Human CXCR7 Chemokine Receptor
Overview: Full-length human CXCR7 cDNA encoding CXCR7
Background InformationThe orphan receptor RDC1 is phylogenetically related to chemokine receptors, and its gene (CMKOR1, chemokine orphan receptor 1) occupies a chromosomal location near the genes for other CXC receptors. Several immune system cells, including T lymphocytes, mature dendritic cells and memory B cells, express RDC1 (Infantino et al., 2006). A subset of HIV and SIV strains use RDC1 as a coreceptor (Shimizu et al., 2000). The chemokine SDF-1/CXCL12, which binds to CXCR4, has been shown also to bind and activate RDC1 to promote chemotaxis of T lymphocytes; thus, CXCR7 has been proposed to be the new name for RDC1 (Balabanian et al., 2005). I-TAC, one of the chemokines thought to bind to CXCR3 only, has been reported to distinguish CXCR7 from CXCR4 in radioligand binding experiments (Burns et al. 2006). Chemicon's CXCR7 membrane preparations are crude membrane preparations made from our proprietary stable recombinant cell lines to ensure high-level of GPCR surface expression; thus, they are ideal HTS tools for screening of agonists and antagonists at CXCR7. The membrane preparations exhibit a Kd of 0.32 nM for [125I]-SDF-1α. With 0.25 nM [125I]-SDF-1α, 10µg/well CXCR7 Membrane Prep typically yields greater than 4-fold signal-to-background ratio.

Biological Information
Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryThis gene encodes a member of the G-protein coupled receptor family. Although this protein was earlier thought to be a receptor for vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), it is now considered to be an orphan receptor, in that its endogenous ligand has not been identified. The protein is also a coreceptor for human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV). Translocations involving this gene and HMGA2 on chromosome 12 have been observed in lipomas.

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: P25106 # Receptor for CXCL12/SDF1. Acts as coreceptor with CXCR4 for a restricted number of HIV isolates.
SIZE: 362 amino acids; 41493 Da
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in monocytes, basophils, and B- cells. Lower expression in CD4+ T-lymphocytes and natural killer cells.
SIMILARITY: SwissProt: P25106 ## Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
Incubation ConditionsMembranes are mixed with radioactive ligand and unlabeled competitor (see Figures 1 and 2 for concentrations tested) in binding buffer in a nonbinding 96-well plate, and incubated for 1-2 h. Prior to filtration, a GF/C 96-well filter plate is coated with 0.33% polyethyleneimine for 30 min, then washed with 50mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 0.5% BSA. Binding reaction is transferred to the filter plate, and washed 3 times (1 mL per well per wash) with Wash Buffer. The plate is dried and counted.
Binding buffer: 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM CaCl2, 0.2% BSA, filtered and stored at 4°C
Radioligand: [125I] SDF-1α (Perkin Elmer#: NEX-346)
Wash Buffer: 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 500mM NaCl , 0.1% BSA, filtered and stored at 4°C.

One package contains enough membranes for at least 200 assays (units), where a unit is the amount of membrane that will yield greater than 4-fold signal:background with 125I-labeled SDF-1α at 0.25 nM
