Human ACKR1/CD234/DARC/FY/GPD Gene, Full-length cDNA in Lentivector, Endotoxin-free DNA

Description

ACKR1 (atypical chemokine receptor 1) is a 7-transmembrane protein of the ACKR subfamily of the G protein-coupled receptor 1 (GPCR1) family.  ACKR controls chemokine levels and localization via high-affinity chemokine binding that is uncoupled from classic ligand-driven signal transduction cascades, resulting instead in chemokine sequestration, degradation, or transcytosis. ACKR is also known as interceptor (internalizing receptor) or chemokine-scavenging receptor or chemokine decoy receptor.ACKR1 is a non-specific receptor for inflammatory chemokines of both the CXC and the CC subfamilies but not with homeostatic chemokines.  ACKR1 acts as a receptor for chemokines including CCL2, CCL5, CCL7, CCL11, CCL13, CCL14, CCL17, CXCL5, CXCL6, IL8/CXCL8, CXCL11, GRO, RANTES, MCP-1, and TARC. ACKR1 may regulate chemokine bioavailability and, consequently, leukocyte recruitment through two distinct mechanisms: when expressed in endothelial cells, it sustains the abluminal to luminal transcytosis of tissue-derived chemokines and their subsequent presentation to circulating leukocytes; when expressed in erythrocytes, serves as blood reservoir of cognate chemokines but also as a chemokine sink, buffering potential surges in plasma chemokine levels.  ACKR1 is also the receptor for the human malarial parasites Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium knowlesi. Polymorphisms in the ACKR1 gene are the basis of the Duffy blood group system. 

 

 

Gene Symbol: ACKR1; CD234; FY; Dfy; GPD; DARC; GpFy; CCBP1; WBCQ1; DARC/ACKR1

 

NCBI Gene ID: 2532

 

Uniprot Entry: Q16570

 

Construct Details: Full length human ACKR1 gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter and with or without an antibiotic selection marker, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells.  It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles. Multiple choices of a stable antibiotic selection marker are available.

 

Vector Type: pLTC or pLTC-IRES-Marker (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter +/- a selection marker, see the vector map above)

 

Formulation: Supplied with 10 μg of endotoxin-free plasmid DNA at 200 ng/μl in sterile TE buffer (pH8.0)

 

Gene Insert Size: 1011 (bp)

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:

(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;

(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CCAGGTTTCCGGGCCCTCAC-3’

 

 

Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification.  High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
