Cx3cl1 - chemokine (C-X3-C motif) ligand 1

Enables CX3C chemokine receptor binding activity and chemokine activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including angiogenesis involved in wound healing; leukocyte chemotaxis; and negative regulation of extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in absence of ligand. Located in several cellular components, including cell surface; neuron projection; and neuronal cell body. 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). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
