Receptor for chemokines SCYC1 and SCYC2. Subsequently transduces a signal by increasing the intracellular calcium ions level. Receptor for XCL1/Lymphotactin.
Scm-1 showed a high-affinity binding to xcr1 with a kd of 10 nm and induced vigorous chemotaxis and calcium mobilization in xcr1-transfected murine l1.2 cells.
