Magic™ In Vitro Cell-based Chemokine Receptor Functional Assay Service

Chemokine Receptors Overview

Chemokine receptors are serpentine G-protein-coupled receptors that are expressed by both cancer and stromal cells. The receptors and their ligands are important inflammatory mediators, controlling leukocyte extravasation and directing migration into inflamed and diseased organs. Targeting overexpressed chemokine receptors directly kills tumor cells and has a favorable effect on hematological malignancies, making them appealing tractable targets for the pharmaceutical sector.

Representative Data

Representative data 1: To investigate the physiological significance of biased signaling at CXCR3, researchers screened a panel of publically accessible small-molecule CXCR3 ligands and discovered two agonists with biased signaling properties: VUF10661 and VUF11418. These small-molecule CXCR3 agonists also showed the distinct ability to recruit -arrestin1, attract GPCR kinases (GRKs) and induce CXCR3 internalization, consistent with their biased signaling features.

Fig.4 VUF10661 and VUF11418 are biased agonists of CXCR3.³
