Summary

This gene encodes a CXC chemokine receptor specific for stromal cell-derived factor-1. The protein has 7 transmembrane regions and is located on the cell surface. It acts with the CD4 protein to support HIV entry into cells and is also highly expressed in breast cancer cells. Mutations in this gene have been associated with WHIM (warts, hypogammaglobulinemia, infections, and myelokathexis) syndrome. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Gene Networks

Gene regulatory network (GRN) of the gene in two interaction steps distance for the selected cell types. The network depth can be varied by updating the number in the box of Network Settings. The GRN is based on C3NET algorithm [1]. Each links are the highest association scores for one of the genes of gene pairs. The numbers near the checked boxes refer to the numbers of links contributed by each of the cell types. One can uncheck and remove the links of any of the cell types from the network. The network topology is dynamic and can be re-arranged by pulling a node with a mouse. The solid and dashed lines refer to positive and negative correlations, respectively. Right clicking a node will bring up a menu with additional options. The arrows show the most likely direction of regulation between gene pairs.
