Bonzo antibody was raised against a peptide corresponding to amino acids near the amino terminus of human Bonzo/STRL33. The sequence of this peptide differs from those of African green monkey and pig-tailed macaque by one or two amino acids, respectively.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) require coreceptors, in addition to CD4, to infect target cells. Some G protein-coupled receptors including CCR5, CXCR4, CCR3, and CCR2b in the chemokine receptor family have been identified as HIV coreceptors. An orphan G protein-coupled receptor was recently cloned and designated Bonzo, STRL33 and TYMSTR, and identified as HIV and SIV coreceptor (1-4). Bonzo/STRL33 serves as coreceptor for SIV, HIV-2 and HIV-1. The messenger RNA of Bonzo/STRL33 is expressed in lymphoid tissues and activated peripheral blood lymphocytes.Synonyms: BONZO, CDw186, CXC-R6, CXCR-6, G-protein coupled receptor STRL33, G-protein coupled receptor bonzo, STRL33, TYMSTR
