Product Overview
Recombinant human CX3CL1, fused to His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in insect cell and purified by using conventional chromatography technique.
Description
CX3CL1, also known as fractalkine isoform 1, is a member of the CX3C chemokine family. It acts as a ligand for both CX3CR1 and integrins. This protein acts different ways dependent on its form. The soluble form is chemotactic for T-cells and monocytes and not for neutrophils. The membrane-bound form promotes adhesion of those leukocytes to endothelial cells. This protein plays a role in regulating leukocyte adhesion and migration processes at the endothelium. It is also up-regulated in the hippocampus during a brief temporal window following spatial learning, the purpose of which may be to regulate glutamate-mediated neurotransmission tone. This indicates a possible role for the chemokine in the protective plasticity process of synaptic scaling.
