High impact information on XCR1

  • A similar regulation mechanism could be identified for the Lptn receptor GPR-5 in peripheral T cells [1].
  • By Northern blot analysis, GPR5 mRNA of about 5 kilobases was detected strongly in placenta and weakly in spleen and thymus among various human tissues [2].
  • Up-regulation of XCR1 expression in rheumatoid joints [3].
  • Thus, we have identified a coupling mechanism between the activation of T cells and acquisition of new homing properties, in this case conferred by XCR1 expression [4].
 

Anatomical context of XCR1

  • CONCLUSIONS: We found an up-regulation of XCR1 expression in MNCs from the rheumatoid joint, and detected XCR1 expression in infiltrating MNCs in synovial tissues, as well as increased lymphotactin levels in synovial fluid [3].
  • In addition, we have extended previous analyses of GPR5/XCR1 expression and show that this receptor is expressed in leukocyte cells previously shown to be responsive to lymphotactin [5].
 

Other interactions of XCR1

  • Levels of lymphotactin, the ligand of XCR1, were significantly higher in the joint fluid than those in the paired serum samples (P<0.01) [3].
