Background

CX3CR1 (CX₃C chemokine receptor 1; also fractalkine receptor, GPCR13 and V28) is a 40 kDa member of the δ-group of rhodopsin GPCRs. It is expressed on astrocytes, microglia, macrophages, Th1 and Tc1 T cells, NK cells, mouse Gr1^lo monocytes plus smooth muscle and mast cells. CX₃CR1 mediates adhesion to fractalkine, promotes avid binding of integrins to their ligands, and extends the life of monocytes. Mouse CX3CR1 is a 7-transmembrane protein that is 354 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains a 32 aa N-terminal extracellular region that shows no glycosylation, and a 56 aa C-terminal cytoplasmic domain. Over aa 1‑32, 91‑104, 169‑196 and 258‑274 collectively, mouse CX₃CR1 shares 96% and 77% aa identity with rat and human CX₃CR1, respectively.
