Also known as MDR15CD185
Summary
CXCR5 (C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 5, HGNC:1060) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11q23.3, encoding C-X-C chemokine receptor type 5 (P32302). Cytokine receptor that binds to B-lymphocyte chemoattractant (BLC).
This gene encodes a multi-pass membrane protein that belongs to the CXC chemokine receptor family. It is expressed in mature B-cells and Burkitt’s lymphoma. This cytokine receptor binds to B-lymphocyte chemoattractant (BLC), and is involved in B-cell migration into B-cell follicles of spleen and Peyer patches. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 12 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
