GPR182 modulates CXCR4 signaling through internalizing CXCL12. (A and D) FRET analyses via acceptor photobleaching assess the formation of CXCR4 homodimers (positive control) and CXCR4/GPR182 heterodimers. Representative images display CFP and YFP fluorescent signals before and after photobleaching. White rectangles indicate the regions of interest (ROI) for photobleaching; negative controls lack photobleaching. (B, C, E, and F) Relative intensities of CFP and YFP in the corresponding ROIs for panels A (B and C) and D (E and F). (G) Confocal microscopy images depict CXCL12 internalization mediated by GPR182. HEK293T cells expressing YFP-tagged GPR182 are incubated with or without CXCL12, and endocytosis is assessed using an anti-CXCL12 antibody. (H) Quantification of intracellular GPR182 localization as shown in panel G. (I) Intracellular colocalization of GPR182 and Rab5 upon CXCL12 addition. HEK293T cells expressing YFP-tagged GPR182 are incubated with or without CXCL12, and cells are stained with an anti-Rab5 antibody
