Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of CXCR7 in human serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates.
Target Information: This gene encodes a member of the G-protein coupled receptor family. Although this protein was earlier thought to be a receptor for vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), it is now considered to be an orphan receptor, in that its endogenous ligand has not been identified. The protein is also a coreceptor for human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV). Translocations involving this gene and HMGA2 on chromosome 12 have been observed in lipomas. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
