Abstract

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are cell surface receptors that relay extracellular signals to the inside of the cells. C-X-C chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) is a GPCR that undergoes receptor internalization and recycling upon stimulation with its cognate ligand, C-X-C chemokine 12 (CXCL12). Using this receptor/ligand pair we describe the use of two techniques, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and flow cytometry, widely used to quantify GPCR internalization from the plasma membrane and its return to the cell surface by recycling.
