Cxcr2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables chemokine receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of apoptotic process. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cell surface; mast cell granule; and mitotic spindle. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; epithelium; and heart. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in IgA glomerulonephritis; WHIM syndrome 2; acute pyelonephritis; end stage renal disease; and urinary bladder cancer. Orthologous to human CXCR2 (C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Cxcr2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
