The invention relates to methods for manipulating hematopoietic stem cells and related products. In one aspect the invention relates to the use of stem cell G-protein coupled receptor (SC-GPR) related compositions to identify bone marrow derived hematopoietic stem cells, to enhance mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells, to improve the efficiency of targeting cells to the bone marrow and/or to modulate hematopoietic cell function.
