CXCR1
Function
Receptor to interleukin-8, which is a powerful neutrophils chemotactic factor (PubMed:1840701). Binding of IL-8 to the receptor causes activation of neutrophils. This response is mediated via a G-protein that activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system (PubMed:8662698).
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
Cellular localization
- Cell membrane
- Multi-pass membrane protein
