Function
Receptor for interleukin-8 which is a powerful neutrophil chemotactic factor. Binding of IL-8 to the receptor causes activation of neutrophils. This response is mediated via a G-protein that activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein)
Disease Association: WHIM syndrome 2 (WHIMS2) : An autosomal recessive form of WHIM syndrome, a primary immunodeficiency disorder characterized by warts, hypogammaglobulinemia, infections, and myelokathexis. Myelokathexis is a unique form of non-cyclic severe congenital neutropenia caused by accumulation of mature and degenerating neutrophils in the bone marrow. Monocytopenia and lymphopenia, especially B lymphopenia, also commonly occur. There is significant phenotypic variation among patients, such that some individuals may have an incomplete form of the disorder in which one or more of the classic tetrad features are not present. [The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
