Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylated upon ligand binding.which is required for desensitization. (Microbial infection) Proteolytically cleaved by Staphylococcus aureus staphopain A/SspP. This cleavage inhibits CXCR2-dependent neutrophil activation and chemotaxis. |
Function | Receptor for interleukin-8 which is a powerful neutrophil chemotactic factor. 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. Binds to IL-8 with high affinity. Also binds with high affinity to CXCL3, GRO/MGSA and NAP-2. |
