Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  SAR analysis of small molecule antagonists of the CCR6 receptor: a luminescent beta-arrestin assay
Description:  Data Source: Sanford-Burnham Center for Chemical Genomics (SBCCG) Source Affiliation: Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute(SBMRI, San Diego, CA) Network: NIH Molecular Libraries Probe Production Centers Network (MLPCN) Grant Number: R21 NS064746-01A Assay Provider: Dr. Greg Roth, Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute Currently there are no published patents or studies specifically describing small molecule antagonists of the chemokine receptor CCR6. CCL20 (MIP-3 alpha) is the endogenous peptide ligand for the G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) CCR6. The receptor ligand pair is responsible for the chemoattraction of immature dendritic cells, effector/memory T cells, B cells, and also plays a role at skin and mucosal surfaces. The CCR6 receptor is expressed by B cells, subsets of T cells, and dendritic cells (DC). The link between the CCR6lCCL20 axis and cancer cell metastasis is a recent finding. There are two key studies that describe a relation between CCR6 and colorectal
