Preparation and Storage

Background: CXCL16

Mouse CXCL16 (CXC chemokine 16) is a non-ELR motif-containing CXC chemokine with a transmembrane domain. CX3CL1/Fractalkine andCXCL16 are the only two transmembrane chemokines within the superfamily. Mouse CXCL16 cDNA encodes a 246 amino acid (aa) precursor protein with a putative 26 aa signal peptide, an 88 aa chemokine domain, an 87 aa mucin-like spacer region, a 22 aa transmembrane domain, and a 23 aa cytoplasmic tail. Mouse and human CXCL16 share 49% aa sequence identity. Mouse CXCL16 is produced by dendritic cells in lymphoid organ T cell zones and bycells in the splenic red pulp both as membrane-bound and soluble forms. Based on northern blot analysis, CXCL16 is also expressed in some non-lymphoid tissues such as lung, small intestine and kidney. The receptor for CXCL16 has been identified as CXCR6 (previously called Bonzo, STRL33 or TYMSTR), which is also a coreceptor for HIV entry. CXCR6 is expressed on naive CD8 cells, natural killer T cells and activated CD8 and CD4 T cells.
