You should link G-protein coupled-receptor!

Also, for convention sake, is it IL-8R alpha or A? Same thing for IL-8R beta or B? I know it might not sound too different but the "types" section uses alpha and beta not A and B.

Sentence structure:

"There are two receptors with this name: interleukin-8 receptor A (IL-8RA) and interleukin-8 receptor B (IL-8RB)"

--> You can get rid of this sentence by fusing with the first sentence:

The interleukin-8 receptors (IL-8R) are composed of two 7-transmembrane proteins in the G-protein coupled-receptor family[1]: interleukin-8 receptor A (IL-8RA) and interleukin-8 receptor B (IL-8RB).

You can also get rid of "with presence of" on the third sentence. The sentence works with just "(approximately 65,000 receptors per neutrophil)."

If the information is available, talking about the site of glycosylation may be useful.

I am not quite understanding what this sentence means:

"Interleukin-8 receptors are interleukin receptor s of the chemokine receptor type." What is a chemokine receptor type? Explaining the function as a chemokine receptor would be better.

The last sentence of the overview is contradicting itself. Is the sentence trying to say that IL-8 binding is lower when other molecules are bound or is it still the same throughout regardless of other molecules binding?

A little bit confused about "7 alpha helices that each span the length of the phospholipid bilayer of a cell membrane." Is this true? Each alpha helices is as long as phospholipid bilayer of a cell membrane? Do you mean the width or the thickness of the membrane?

Isn't 'chromosome 2q35' a locus of gene? Or is it okay to say chromosome 2q35?

Source needed for this claim: "The close proximity and location of these two genes on the chromosome suggest that they have risen from the same ancestor sequence."

Having a rough diagram, even if it is sketched, would be really nice to help visualizing this: "Asp11 on the N-terminus, Glu275 and Arg280 (both on the loop between the 7th and 6th transmembrane domains)."

"three main peptide residues that participate in ligand binding on IL-8A" --> What about IL-8B? Also it would be great to have citation for thiThe last sentence on C-terminus activity is a bit too long. Perhaps breaking the sentence down into 2 separate sentences would be easier for the readers to read.

I think it would be best to break up the sentence using the colon. There is too much content in this specific sentence. Differentiate sentence structure because listing the functions here actually is too much to read. So have a sentence for shape/conformational changes, another sentence for degranulation, and the last function. Also don't use 7TM if you haven't abbreviated like that from above. If you want to use this, please do abbreviate it the first time the word comes up. What I'm saying is like: 7-transmembrane (7TM). A source for function would be great for this paragraph.

Overall, great work for adding much more new things to this article. Hopefully the comments are helpful and you can make the article even better! Let me know if you don't understand some of the comments I have made. Obviously there would be some stylistic differences we have. Untediousness (talk) 15:54, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
