Short Decsription
Creative Biolabs offers HEK293T-Tg(Human Gαqi5//Human CXCR6 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell which CXCR6 receptor stably expressed in HEK293T cells which overexpress Gαqi5.
Description
HEK293T-Tg(Human Gαqi5//Human CXCR6 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell was engineered to express the receptor human CXCR6 (NM_006564) and Gαqi5 gene. This cell line can be used to study CXCR6 receptor function, signaling pathways, and potential therapeutic interventions. Dividing-arrest cells are cells that are normally kept under specific culture conditions or treated with agents that prevent cell division from being held in a non-dividing state. This can be achieved through methods such as serum starvation, chemical inhibitors of cell cycle progression, or genetic modification.

Background
CXCR6 (CXC-chemokine receptor type 6) is a receptor for CXC chemokine CXCL16. CXCR6 is expressed by naive CD8 T cells, natural killer T cells, a subset of memory CD4 T cells and plasma cells. CXCR6 and its ligand play an important role in the trafficking of the cells expressing them. It is demonstrated that CXCL16+ macrophages in synovial fluid of rheumatoid arthritis patients lead to recruitment of CXCR6+ memory T cells, thereby contributing to the inflammatory cascade associated with rheumatoid arthritis pathology. CXCR6 is also used as a coreceptor by simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs) and by strains of HIV-2 and M-tropic HIV-1.
