Designing a Western blot for CCR6? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
Open the CCR6 Western Blot GuideFacts about C-C chemokine receptor type 6.
Although CCL20 is its major ligand it may also function as a receptor for non-chemokine ligands for example beta-defensins (PubMed:25585877). Binds to defensin DEFB1 resulting in increase in intracellular calcium ions and cAMP levels.

Sperm. Mainly localized in the tail and in the postacrosomal region but is also found in the midpiece and basal region in a small percentage of sperm cells. Reduced levels found in the sperms of asthenozoospermia and leukocytospermia patients (at protein level). Spleen, lymph nodes, appendix, and fetal liver. Expressed in lymphocytes, T-cells and B-cells but not in natural killer cells, monocytes or granulocytes.
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell surface.
