| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables CX3C chemokine receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including leukocyte chemotaxis; negative regulation of extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in absence of ligand; and positive regulation of transforming growth factor beta1 production. Located in neuron projection; neuronal cell body; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; gut; nose; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Cor pulmonale and common cold. Orthologous to human CX3CL1 (C-X3-C motif chemokine ligand 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele show a specific reduction in Gr1(low) monocyte levels, and increased neuronal cell loss in a neurotoxin (MPTP)-induced model of Parkinson disease. Mice homozygous for a different knock-out allele are less susceptible to cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. [provided by MGI curators] |
