The chemokine receptor CXCR4 belongs to the large superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors, and is directly involved in a number of biological processes including organogenesis, hematopoiesis, and immune response. Recent evidence has highlighted the role of CXCR4 in a variety of diseases including HIV, cancer, and WHIM syndrome.

CXCR4-targeting nanobodies differentially inhibit CXCR4 function and HIV entry
The chemokine receptor CXCR4 and its ligand CXCL12 contribute to a variety of human diseases, such as cancer. CXCR4 is also a major co-receptor facilitating HIV entry. Accordingly, CXCR4 is considered as an attractive therapeutic target. Drug side effects and poor pharmacokinetic properties have been major hurdles that have prevented the implementation

CXCL12-CXCR4 axis: its role and the drug inhibitors on each type of cancers [PDF]
Objective: Chemokine 12, C-X-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 12 (CXCL12), and its receptor C-X-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 4 (CXCR4), both play essential and critical roles in the development of different types of cancers.

Aberrant regulation of CXCR4 in cancer via deviant microRNA-targeted interactions
CXCR4 is involved in many facets of cancer, including being a major player in establishing metastasis. This is in part due to the deregulation of CXCR4, which can be attributed to many genetic and epigenetic mechanisms, including aberrant microRNA–CXCR4 ...
