Chemokine receptor CXCR7 is a functional receptor for CXCL12 in brain endothelial cells.

The chemokine CXCL12 regulates multiple cell functions through its receptor, CXCR4. However, recent studies have shown that CXCL12 also binds a second receptor, CXCR7, to potentiate signal transduction and cell activity.
