C-X-C chemokine receptor type 2 (CXCR2)

Receptor for interleukin-8 that's a powerful neutrophil chemotactic factor. Binding of IL-8 to the receptor causes activation of neutrophils.

This response is mediated via a G-protein that activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. Binds to IL-8 with high affinity.
