Ligand Sp. Action Affinity Parameter Reference
CXCL16 {Sp: Human} Hs Full agonist 9.0 pKd 15
⤷ pKd 9.0 (Kd 1x10-9 M) [15]
Agonist Comments
Mouse CXCL16 has also been cloned [11]. CXCL16 is identical to SR-PSOX, an acronym for its ability to function as a scavenger receptor that binds phosphatidylserine and oxidized lipoprotein [2].
Immunopharmacology Comments
CXCR6 is one of more than 20 distinct chemokine receptors expressed in human leukocytes. Chemokines primarily act to promote leukocyte chemotaxis to sites of inflammation. CXCR6 is upregulated by IL-2 and IL-15 [14].
