CX3CR1 C-X3-C motif chemokine receptor 1

Gene ID: 1524, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: V28; CCRL1; GPR13; CMKDR1; GPRV28; CMKBRL1

Summary

Fractalkine is a transmembrane protein and chemokine involved in the adhesion and migration of leukocytes. The protein encoded by this gene is a receptor for fractalkine. The encoded protein also is a coreceptor for HIV-1, and some variations in this gene lead to increased susceptibility to HIV-1 infection and rapid progression to AIDS. Four transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]
