title: Regulation of breast cancer metastasis by atypical chemokine receptors.
abstract: The interaction between chemokines and their G-protein-coupled receptors plays an important role in promoting metastasis of different kinds of human cancers. However, the expression of an atypical chemokine receptor, CCX-CKR, which serves as a decoy receptor to attract chemokines, inhibits the growth and metastasis of breast cancer by sequestration of chemokines.
