CXCR5, a Chemokine Receptor, is required for normal development of Peyer's patches, inguinal lymph nodes, and splenic follicles. CXCR5 binds B-lymphocyte chemoattractant (BLC) and is involved in B-cell homing to follicles in lymph nodes and spleen. Two isoforms are produced by alternative splicing. CXCR5 expression has been reported in human blood and salivary gland and in animal lymphatic organs, blood, bone marrow, brain, liver, lymph node, skin, spleen, stomach, and tonsil. ESTs have been isolated from human brain, germ cell, lung, lymph, pancreas, skin, stomach, and uterus cancer libraries, and from normal human blood, liver/spleen, lymph node, nerve, placenta, small intestine, tonsil, and B-cell/lung/testis libraries.Synonyms: BLR1, Burkitt lymphoma receptor 1, C-X-C chemokine receptor type 5, CXC-R5, CXCR-5, MDR15, Monocyte-derived receptor 15
