Name | CXCR3 |
---|---|
Synonyms | GPR9 |
Function | [Isoform 1]: Receptor for the C-X-C chemokine CXCL9, CXCL10 and CXCL11 and mediates the proliferation, survival and angiogenic activity of human mesangial cells (HMC) through a heterotrimeric G- protein signaling pathway (PubMed:12782716). Binds to CCL21. Probably promotes cell chemotaxis response. Upon activation by PF4, induces activated T-lymphocytes migration mediated via downstream Ras/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling. [Isoform 3]: Mediates the activity of CXCL11. |
Cellular Location | [Isoform 1]: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are mainly expressed in heart, kidney, liver and skeletal muscle. Isoform 1 is also expressed in placenta. Isoform 2 is expressed in endothelial cells. Expressed in T-cells (at protein level). |

Background
The CXCR3 protein is a G protein-coupled receptor with selectivity for three chemokines, termed CXCL9/Mig (monokine induced by interferon-gamma), CXCL10/IP10 (interferon-gamma-inducible 10 kDa protein) and CXCL11/I-TAC (interferon-inducible T cell alpha-chemoattractant) (reviewed in 1). Binding of chemokines to this protein induces cellular responses that are involved in leukocyte traffic, most notably integrin activation, cytoskeletal changes and chemotactic migration (2). Similar to other chemokine receptors such as CXCR4, CXCR3 has been implicated in several malignancies as a biomarker of tumor behavior as well as a potential therapeutic target (3).
