Chemokines direct the trafficking of white blood cells in immune surveillance, playing a key role in inflammatory and infectious diseases such as AIDS. CX3CL1, also known as fractalkine (FKN), is a unique, membrane-bound chemokine, with a transmembrane domain and the chemokine domain on top of a long mucinlike stalk. This protein can exist in two forms, a membrane-bound form or a shed soluble form, after extracellular proteolysis at a membrane-proximal dibasic cleavage site. The soluble CX3CL1 has potent chemoattractant activity for T cells and monocytes, and the cell-surface-bound protein, which is induced by primary proinflammatory signals in activated primary endothelial cells, promotes strong adhesion of those leukocytes. Presence of CX3CL1 and its receptor CX3CR1 in lymphocytes and their enhanced cellular expression during inflammatory conditions suggests that the CX3CL1-CX3CR1 duo participates in immune-related inflammatory diseases.
