| Tissue Specificity | Found in adult kidney, adult spleen, bone marrow and fetal liver. In particular, it is expressed along postcapillary venules throughout the body, except in the adult liver. Erythroid cells and postcapillary venule endothelium are the principle tissues expressing duffy. Fy(-A-B) individuals do not express duffy in the bone marrow, however they do, in postcapillary venule endothelium. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Sulfation at Tyr-41 facilitates interaction with MGSA/CXCL1, RANTES/CCL5 and MCP-1/CCL2 but not IL8/CXCL8. Sulfation at Tyr-30 facilitates interaction with IL8/CXCL8. (Microbial infection) Sulfation at Tyr-41 facilitates interaction with Plasmodium vivax Duffy receptor (PVDR). Sulfation at Tyr-30/Tyr-41 and Tyr-41 alone increases binding affinity of Plasmodium vivax parasites and likely promotes invasion of red blood cells. (Microbial infection) Sulfation at Tyr-41 facilitates interaction with Plasmodium knowlesi Duffy receptor alpha form (DBPalpha). Sulfation at Tyr-30/Tyr-41 and Tyr-41 alone increases binding affinity of Plasmodium knowlesi parasites and likely promotes invasion of red blood cells. |
| Function | Atypical chemokine receptor that controls chemokine levels and localization via high-affinity chemokine binding that is uncoupled from classic ligand-driven signal transduction cascades, resulting instead in chemokine sequestration, degradation, or transcytosis. Also known as interceptor (internalizing receptor) or chemokine-scavenging receptor or chemokine decoy receptor. Has a promiscuous chemokine-binding profile, interacting with inflammatory chemokines of both the CXC and the CC subfamilies but not with homeostatic chemokines. Acts as a receptor for chemokines including CCL2, CCL5, CCL7, CCL11, CCL13, CCL14, CCL17, CXCL5, CXCL6, IL8/CXCL8, CXCL11, GRO, RANTES, MCP-1 and TARC. May regulate chemokine bioavailability and, consequently, leukocyte recruitment through two distinct mechanisms: when expressed in endothelial cells, it sustains the abluminal to luminal transcytosis of tissue-derived chemokines and their subsequent presentation to circulating leukocytes.when expressed in erythrocytes, serves as blood reservoir of cognate chemokines but also as a chemokine sink, buffering potential surges in plasma chemokine levels. (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for the malaria parasite Plasmodium vivax. (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for the malaria parasite Plasmodium knowlesi. |
