Accession | P78423 |
Synonym | C-X3-C motif chemokine 1, CX3C membrane-anchored chemokine, Neurotactin, Small-inducible cytokine D1. |
Background | Fractalkine is a type I membrane protein that signals through the CX3CR1 receptor. The extracellular domain of Fractalkine is released by protease cleavage - producing soluble Fractalkine. Fractalkine has been found in many tissues and shown to be up-regulated in endothelial cells and microglia in response to inflammatory signals. Fractalkine is also involved in leukocyte adhesion as well as attracting monocytes, microglia cells and NK cells. |

Target Details
Target Function | Chemokine that acts as a ligand for both CX3CR1 and integrins ITGAV:ITGB3 and ITGA4:ITGB1. The CX3CR1-CX3CL1 signaling exerts distinct functions in different tissue compartments, such as immune response, inflammation, cell adhesion and chemotaxis. Regulates leukocyte adhesion and migration processes at the endothelium. Can activate integrins in both a CX3CR1-dependent and CX3CR1-independent manner. In the presence of CX3CR1, activates integrins by binding to the classical ligand-binding site (site 1) in integrins. In the absence of CX3CR1, binds to a second site (site 2) in integrins which is distinct from site 1 and enhances the binding of other integrin ligands to site 1.; 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. |
