Chemokine (Chemoattractant Cytokines) are small peptides that are potent activators and chemo-attractants for leukocyte subpopulations and other non-hemopoietic cells. Chemokine receptors (CXCR) belong to the super-family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR), which regulate the trafficking and activation of leukocytes, and operate as co-receptors in the entry of HIV-1 and proliferation and migration of immature neurons, glia and their precursors. Furthermore, chemokine receptors participate in the etiology and progression of various brain disorders, including AIDS dementia, neuro-inflammatory disease and neuroplasia, making them important potential therapeutic targets in these cases several subtypes of CXCR have been characterized.
