HEK293T Human CD198/CCR8 Stable Cell Line

C-C chemokine receptor type 8 (CD198/CCR8) is a ~40 kDa protein. G protein-coupled receptor that can bind a variety of chemokines, such as CCL1, CCL8, CCL16, CCL18. Regulates monocyte and eosinophil chemotaxis. Undergoes internalization upon CCL18 binding, leading to induced migration and calcium flux of highly polarized Th2 cells. In microglial cells, promotes phagocytosis with CCL18 through NF-kappa-B and Src signaling pathways. Stimulation of the CCL1-CCR8 signaling axis protects the gut from acute intestinal damage.
