It has a molecular weight of about 40 kDa. This receptor is expressed in various tissues particularly on immune cells like monocytes natural killer cells T cells and microglia. CX3CR1 binds to its ligand CX3CL1 or fractalkine which is a chemokine involved in directing cell movement. The receptor-ligand interaction is critical for the adhesion and migration of leukocytes to inflammatory sites.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nCX3CR1 plays a significant role in immune regulation and cellular migration. It is not part of a larger protein complex but interacts directly with monocyte and microglia cells influencing their activity. CX3CR1 is recognized as a marker for microglia in flow cytometry applications assisting in the identification of these brain-resident immune cells. The receptor is frequently studied using monoclonal antibodies like anti-CX3CR1 and is subject to inhibition by CX3CR1 antagonists such as 8e10 affecting its function in immune responses.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nCX3CR1 involves itself heavily in the chemokine signaling pathway and the inflammatory response pathway. Its interaction with CX3CL1 influences the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway modulating cell survival and proliferation. The receptor works in conjunction with CCR2 in monocyte navigation impacting the inflammatory cascade during immune response. Their coordinated action is important for cellular trafficking to sites requiring immune intervention.\u003cbr\u003e\nCX3CR1 has associations with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease as well as with atherosclerosis. Changes in its expression and function can exacerbate these conditions. In Alzheimer's disease microglial CX3CR1 may mediate neuroinflammatory processes affecting plaque buildup. In atherosclerosis the receptor is involved in monocyte recruitment to plaques influenced by the related protein fractalkine. Understanding these relationships provides insights into potential therapeutic targets for modulating disease progression.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46852261281961,"sku":"ab167571","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab167571","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
