Human peripheral blood lymphocytes were surface stained with PE mouse IgG1, κ isotype control (Cat. No. 400113) (left panel), PE anti-human CD184 (CXCR4) Recombinant (Cat. No. 304503) (middle panel), or with AZDye 647 Recombinant Human CXCL12 (right panel). -
Biological activity was performed in HEK293T cells expressing human CXCR4 by measuring its ability to recruit β-arrestin2. The EC50 for this effect was calculated at 4 to 10 ng/mL.

CXCL12, also known as SDF1, belongs to the CXCL chemokine family. SDF1 is expressed by many organs, and it is most abundantly expressed in pancreas, spleen, ovary, and small intestine. SDF1 and its receptor CXCR4 are involved in regulation of migration, survival, and development of multiple cell types, including human hematopoietic CD34+/CD38-/low and stromal STRO-1+ stem cells. Stress-induced modulations in SDF1 and CXCR4 levels participate in recruitment of immature and maturing leukocytes from the BM reservoir to damaged organs as part of host defense and repair mechanism. SDF1/CXCR4 system is involved in the establishment of organ metastasis in different cancers, for example in lymph node metastasis in breast cancer and oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and peritoneal metastasis in ovarian cancer. Several studies have demonstrated the existence of a small subset of cancer cells which share many characteristics with stem cells and named cancer stem cells (CSC). They constitute a reservoir of self-sustaining cells with the ability to maintain the tumor growth. Most of them express CXCR4 receptor and respond to a chemotactic gradient of its specific ligand SDF1, suggesting that CSC probably represent a subpopulation capable of initiating metastasis.

Antigen Details
- Structure
- CXCL12 is a 93 amino acids molecule with a predicted molecular weight of 9.9 kDa. PDB ID – 2J7Z
- Distribution
-
CXCL12 is expressed by intestinal epithelial cells, human brain micro vessel endothelial cells (HBMEC), bone marrow stromal and epithelial cells
- Function
- CXCL12 is chemotactic for both peripheral blood T cells and lamina propia T cells. CXCL12 is chemotactic for peripheral blood B cells from healthy and RA donors. CXCL12 and its receptor are involved in the mobilization of CD34+ progenitors to the peripheral blood and the homing of stem cells to their specific niches. CXCL12 induces proliferation in pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia cells (PanIN). CXCL12 is a constitutive chemokine involved in lung, brain, joint, brain, and intestine inflammation
- Interaction
- SDF-1 binds to the CXCR4-expressed cells such as T lymphocytes, B cells monocytes, macrophages, tissue-committed stem/progenitor cells (TCSCs), mast cells, and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs)
- Ligand/Receptor
- CXCL12 binds to CXCR4 receptor.
- Bioactivity
- Measured by its ability to recruit β-arrestin 2 in HEK293T cells transfected with human CXCR4. The ED50 for this effect was measured at 4 to 10 ng/mL
