Murine CX3CL1 is a chemokine that is unlike most chemokines because it contains the C-X-X-X-C motif. It is expressed by neurons, endothelial cells, follicular dendritic cells, and some lymphocytes. Expression of CX3CL1 is induced by activation of the transcription factor NFKB1 through IFNG, IL1B, TNF, or LPS. CX3CL1 is chemotactic for T-cells and monocytes and plays a role in angiogenesis, as well as regulation of leukocyte traffic at the endothelium. It also functions as a survival factor for microglial cells. Knock-out mice lacking the CX3CL1 gene appear nearly indistinguishable from wild-type mice, except for a decrease in leukocytes expressing surface marker F4/80. CX3CL1 is a ligand for CX3CR1 as well as virus-encoded receptors M3 and US28.
