August 2022 "Abstract Chemokines such as stromal derived factor 1 and their G protein coupled receptors C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12) has two receptors: C-X-C chemokine motif receptor 4 (CXCR4) and atypical chemokine receptor 3 (ACKR3). ACKR3 has been described as an atypical "biased" receptor because it does not appear to signal through atypical chemokine receptor 3 (ACKR3), which signals atypically.
