Interleukin 8 receptor, alpha is a

IUPHAR
Committee on Receptor Nomenclature and Drug Classification use the HGNC recommended name, CXCR1.

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the

neutrophils by its primary ligand, Interleukin 8, leads to neutrophil chemotaxis and activation.[6]

Clinical significance

Blocking CXCR1 (e.g., with repertaxin[7]) inhibits some human breast cancer stem cells (in vitro and in mice).[8]

In malignant melanoma expression of CXCR1 at the cell surface is present, independent of the cancers stage. It is thought to have a role in the cell growth and angiogenesis required for tumour survival. In this way it has been identified as a potential therapeutic target.[9]

CXCR1 can be cleaved and inactivated by Neutrophil Derived Serine Proteases (NSPs), leading to neutrophil dysfunction and impaired bacterial killing in cystic fibrosis lung disease.[10]

Interactions

Interleukin 8 receptor, alpha has been shown to

interact with GNAI2.[11][12]
