摘要: CXCR4 is the receptor for CXC chemokine SDF1 that has essential functions on embryo organogenesis, immunological and T lymphocyte trafficking. Recently, drawn unexpected attention as it was recently identified a co-factor required entry of lymphotropic HIV isolates in CD4+ lymphocytes. only so far. This suggests expression critical biological effects SDF1. To investigate mechanisms controlling both constitutive induced receptors we have isolated characterized promoter region determined genomic structure human gene. The gene contains two exons separated by an intronic sequence. A 2.6 kb 5′-flanking located upstream open reading frame TATA box transcription start site characteristic functional promoter. also putative consensus binding sequences different factors, some them associated with hemopoiesis development.
