function:Receptor to interleukin-8, which is a powerful neutrophils chemotactic factor. Binding of IL-8 to the receptor causes activation of neutrophils. This response is mediated via a G-protein that activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. This receptor binds to IL-8 with a high affinity and to MGSA (GRO) with a low affinity.,online information:CXC chemokine receptors entry,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.,
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
