Recombinant Mouse CX3CL1 (Fractalkine) (carrier-free)

CX3CL1 is a unique chemokine subclass, synthesized as a transmembrane molecule It consists of an extracellular NH2-terminal domain, a mucin-like stalk, a transmembrane alpha helix, and a short cytoplasmic tail. CX3CL1 exists in two forms: as a membrane-anchored or as a shed 80-95K glycoprotein. Soluble CX3CL1 is generated by limited proteolysis on the cell surface, and a disintegrin and metallopeptidase 10 (ADAM10) and ADAM17/tumor necrosis factor-alpha-converting enzyme (ADAM17/TACE) participate in this shedding. It has been suggested that ADAM10 acts in the constitutive shedding, and ADAM17 acts in response to cell activation. CX3CL1 is associated with the development of different diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), rheumatoid vasculitis (RV), Sjögren’s syndrome (SS), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), scleroderma, multiple sclerosis, and atherosclerosis. Soluble fractalkine has been detected in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with neuropsychiatric lupus, and is present at higher levels in the serum of patients with SS, RA, and type 2 diabetes than in control subjects.

Storage Buffer

Unopened vial can be stored at 4C for three months, at -20C for six months, or at -70C for one year. For maximum results, quick spin vial prior to opening. Stock solutions should be prepared at no less than 10 microg/mL in sterile buffer (PBS, HPBS, DPBS, and EBSS) containing carrier protein such as 1% BSA or HSA. After dilution, the cytokine can be stored at 4C for one month or from -20C to -70C for up to 3 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
