The C-X3-C chemokine family is characterized by two cysteines separated by three amino acid residues. Fractalkine is a member of this chemokine family that binds CX3CR1, previously named V28, and chemokine b receptor-like 1 (CMKBRL1) with high affinity, to induce either leukocyte adhesion and migration or chemotactic functions. CX3CR1 functions with CD4 as a co-receptor for the HIV-1 virus envelope protein, and patients homozygous for a variant haplotype of CX3CR1 progress to AIDS more rapidly than those with other haplotypes. Chemokine receptor-like 1 (also designated G protein-coupled receptor DEZ or ChemR23) belongs to the G protein-coupled receptor 1 family. It is an integral membrane protein functioning as a receptor, possibly a chem-otactic peptide receptor. It also acts as a coreceptor for various SIV strains and for a primary HIV-1 strain. ChemR23 is highly expressed in developing osseous and cartilaginous tissue, brain, kidney, gastrointestinal tissues and myeloid tissue, as well as in adult parathyroid glands.

ChemR23 Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of ChemR23 protein.

Optimal working dilutions should be determined experimentally by the investigator. Suggested starting dilutions are as follows: WB: 1:500-1:2000, IHC-p: 1:100-1:300, IF: 1:200-1:1000, ELISA: 1:20000. Not yet tested in other applications.
