| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables C-X3-C chemokine binding activity and C-X3-C chemokine receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including antifungal innate immune response; central nervous system development; and synapse organization. Located in cell surface. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; colon; genitourinary system; head mesenchyme; and meninges. Used to study age related macular degeneration 12. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including human immunodeficiency virus infectious disease; obesity; pulmonary hypertension; retinal disease (multiple); and systemic scleroderma. Orthologous to human CX3CR1 (C-X3-C motif chemokine receptor 1). PHENOTYPE: Age related retinal degeneration with abnormal subretinal microglial cell accumulation in one homozygous null mice. Other null mice shows impaired monocyte recruitment after vascular injury, kidney ischemia and reperfusion, and bacterial infection of the instestine. [provided by MGI curators] |
