Gene information for CXCR5 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID643
Official gene symbolCXCR5
Full namechemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 5
Aliases,BLR1,CD185,MDR15,MGC117347,
Gene summaryThis gene was identified as a gene specifically expressed in Burkitt's lymphoma and lymphatic tissues. The protein encoded by this gene is predicted to be a seven transmembrane G protein- coupled receptor and belongs to the CXC chemokine receptor family. BLC, a B-lymphocyte chemoattractant, was identified to be a specific ligand for this receptor. Studies of this gene and its mouse conterpart strongly suggest the essential function of this gene in B cell migration and localization within specific anatomic compartments, such as follicles in lymph nodes as well as in spleen. Two alternatively spliced variants of this gene exist. [provided by RefSeq]
