Background

Chemokine (C-X3-C motif) ligand 1, also known as CX3CL1, is a large cytokine protein. It is said to be the only known member of the CX3C chemokine family. It is also commonly known under the names fractalkine (in humans) and neurotactin (in mice) . Its gene is mapped to the long arm of chromosome 8. Being the large protein, it has got 373 amino acids. Imai et al. (1997) identified a 7-transmembrane high-affinity receptor (CX3CR1; 601470) for fractalkine and showed that it mediates both the adhesive and migratory functions of fractalkine.

Immunogen

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of human CX3CL1.

Clonality

Polyclonal

Tissue Specificity

Small intestine, colon, testis, prostate, heart, brain, lung, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas.

Applications

WB

Field of Research

Atherosclerosis, Cardiovascular, Chemokines, Immunology, Innate Immunity, Macrophage/Inflammation, Vascular Inflammation

Purification

Immunogen affinity purified.

Concentration

Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 μg/ml.

Form

Lyophilized

Reconstitution

Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.

Function

The soluble form is chemotactic for T-cells and monocytes, but not for neutrophils. The membrane-bound form promotes adhesion of those leukocytes to endothelial cells. May play a role in regulating leukocyte adhesion and migration processes at the endothelium. Binds to CX3CR1. .
