Background: CX3CL1/Fractalkine

CX3CL1 recently identified through bioinformatics is the only known member of the CX3C chemokine family and it is also commonly known under the names fractalkine (in humans) and neurotactin (in mice). Unlike other known chemokines, CX3CL1 is a type 1 membrane protein containing a chemokine domain tethered on a long mucinlike talk. The soluble form of CX3CL1 is chemotactic for T-cells and monocytes, but not for neutrophils. CX3CL1 may play a role in regulating leukocyte adhesion and migration processes at the endothelium. Mouse CX3CL1 shares 85 % and 78 % a.a. sequence identity with rat and human CX3CL1, respectively, within the chemokine domain, but lower sequence identity within other domains.
