Gene Information

human ... CX3CL1(6376)

General description

C-X3-C motif chemokine ligand 1(CX3CL1), also known as fractalkine (FKN), is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 16q21. The encoded protein acts as a chemotactic cytokine in a soluble form, or acts as a binding molecule in a membrane-attached form. CX3CL1 is characterized by a mucin-like stalk containing chemokine domain and single transmembrane domain with a short intracellular C-terminal. CX3CL1 belongs to the CX3C chemokine subfamily.

Immunogen

chemokine (C-X3-C motif) ligand 1 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-CX3CL1 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in tissue microarray (TMA) immunostaining.

Biochem/physiol Actions

CX3CL1 interacts with its cognate receptor CX3CR1 and stimulates chemotaxis of macrophages to apoptotic lymphocytes. The protein also facilitates inflammatory processes in the central nervous system (CNS). CX3CL1 has been implicated in the molecular mechanism that controls cell adhesion, migration and survival of human prostate cancer cells. Hence, the protein has potential therapeutic approach to treatment of prostate cancer. Elevated expression of serum CX3CL1 has been observed in postmenopausal osteoporotic patients. Thus, it acts as a potential diagnostic marker and therapeutic target for anti-resorptive treatment in osteoporosis patients.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
