    text
  • multi-pass membrane protein
  • lysosomal shuttling of CXCR2 not dependent upon ubiquitination
  • both CXCL5 and CXCR2 were localized in the tunica intima and tunica adventitia of blood vessels in adipose tissue
  • basic FUNCTION
  • contributing to the temporal and spatial pattern of myelination in developing spinal cord (control of positioning of oligodendrocyte precursors)
  • acting as a receptor to interleukin-8, which is a powerful neutrophils chemotactic factor
  • acting as a rhodopsin-like receptor
  • plays an important role in many diverse physiological processes such as leukocyte chemotaxis, wound healing, angiogenesis, and inflammation
  • both CXCL1 and CXCR2 play an important role in chemokine expression and neutrophil infiltration following adenoviral corneal infection, but have a redundant role in the development of keratitis
  • CXCR1 and CXCR2 expression plays a critical role in regulating multiple biological activities in human microvascular endothelial cells
  • CXCR1 and CXCR2 are novel mechanosensors mediating laminar shear-stress-induced endothelial cell (EC) migration
  • critical role of the PDZ-dependent CXCR2 macromolecular signaling complex in regulating neutrophil functions
  • CXCR1 and CXCR2 couple to distinct GRK isoforms to mediate and regulate inflammatory responses
  • CXCL1 and its receptor CXCR2 play a crucial role in host immune response by recruiting and activating neutrophils for microbial killing at the tissue site

    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component CXCL5/CXCR2 axis is likely responsible for the therapeutic effects via angiogenesis
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • binding GRO and NAP-2 (PPBP)
  • binding of IL-8
  • LASP1 interaction with CXCR2 is critical for CXCR2-mediated chemotaxis
  • CXCL5 exerts chemoattraction through CXCR2
  • SLC9A3R1 couples CXCR2 to its downstream effector phospholipase C (PLCB2), forming a macromolecular complex, through a PDZ-based interaction
  • interaction between SLC9A3R1 and CXCR2 or PLCB2 is PDZ motif-dependent
  • CXCR2 interacts with GRK6 to negatively regulate receptor sensitization and trafficking, thus affecting cell signaling and angiogenesis
  • IL8 plays a major role in neutrophil chemotaxis caused by alveolar macrophage-derived conditioned media, and this is most effectively inhibited by dual antagonism of CXCR1 and CXCR2
  • CXCL1 and CXCL2 regulate NLRP3 inflammasome activation via G-Protein-Coupled Receptor CXCR2
