| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) 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). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted null mutation are viable and fertile but exhibit splenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, and increased susceptibility to various pathogens due to impaired neutrophil recruitment and decreased pathogen clearance during innate immune responses.
