Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Chemokine receptor CXCR7 is a member of G protein coupled receptors (GPCR) and a potential drug target. CXCR7 is highly expressed in cancer cells and mediates tumor metastasis. Uniquely, CXCR7 does not couple to G protein but to beta-arrestin. The aim of this project is to determine the 3D structure of CXCR7. Currently, we have not succeeded to obtain crystals of CXCR7.
