Protein attributes

Sequence length	397 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is further processed into a mature form.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level

General annotation (Comments)

Function	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. May play a role in regulating leukocyte adhesion and migration processes at the endothelium. Binds to CX3CR1.
Subunit structure	Monomer.
Subcellular location	Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Processed fractalkine: Secreted.
Tissue specificity	Small intestine, colon, testis, prostate, heart, brain, lung, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas.
Induction	By TNF and IL1/interleukin-1 in pulmonary endothelial cells and umbilical vein endothelial cells.
Post-translational modification	A soluble short 95 kDa form may be released by proteolytic cleavage from the long membrane-anchored form By similarity. O-glycosylated with core 1 or possibly core 8 glycans. Ref.4
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the intercrine delta family.
