Tumor necrosis factor-alpha-converting enzyme (ADAM17) mediates the cleavage and shedding of fractalkine (CX3CL1).
- Abstract:
-
Fractalkine (CX3CL1) is an unusual member of the chemokine family that is synthesized with its chemokine domain at the end of a mucin-rich, transmembrane stalk. This membrane-bound localization allows fractalkine to function as an adhesion molecule for cells bearing its receptor, CX3CR1. In addition, fractalkine can be proteolytically released from the cell surface, generating a soluble molecule that functions as a chemoattractant similar to the other members of the chemokine family. In this ...
