Truncation mutations of CXCR4 that cause increased receptor signaling are responsible for most cases of WHIM (warts, hypogammaglobulinemia, infections, myelokathexis) syndrome, which is characterized by the retention of mature neutrophils in the bone marrow despite peripheral neutropenia. This observation and others have established CXCR4 as a key regulator of neutrophil release from the bone marrow. However, it is unclear how modulation of neutrophil CXCR4 signaling is linked to their migra… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
