Fractalkine, Human (CX3CL1), Flow Cytometry Kit, BioAssay(TM)

CX3CL1, also named neurotactin, is a novel chemokine recently identified through bioinformatics. CX3CL1 has a unique C-X3-C cysteine motif near the amino-terminus and is the first member of a fourth branch of the chemokine superfamily. Unlike other known chemokines, CX 3CL1 is a type 1 membrane protein containing a chemokine domain tethered on a long mucin-like stalk. Human CX 3CL1 cDNA encodes a 397 amino acid (aa) residue membrane protein with a 24 aa residue predicted signal peptide, a 76 aa residue chemokine domain, a 241 aa residue stalk region containing 17 degenerate mucin-like repeats, a 19 aa residue transmembrane segment and a 37 aa residue cytoplasmic domain. The extracellular domain of human CX 3CL1 can be released, possibly by proteolysis at the dibasic cleavage site proximal to the membrane, to generate soluble CX 3CL1. CX3CL1 mRNA has been detected in various tissues including the brain and heart. The expression of CX 3CL1 was also reported to be up-regulated in endothelial cells and microglia by inflammatory signals. Membrane-bound CX 3CL1 has been shown to promote adhesion of leukocytes. The soluble chemokine domain of human CX 3CL1 was reported to be chemotactic for T cells and monocytes while the soluble chemokine domain of mouse CX 3CL1 was reported to chemoattract neutrophils and T-lymphocytes but not monocytes. The gene for human CX 3CL1 has been mapped to chromosome 16q (Pan, Y. et al., 1997, Nature 387:611; Bazan, J.F. et al., 1997, Nature 385:640; Mackay, C.R. 1997, Current Biology 7:R384).
