compound introduction
Purity >95% SDS-PAGE. Function The soluble form is chemotactic for T-cells and monocytes, but not for neutrophils. The membrane-bound form promotes adhesion of those leukocytes to endothelial cells. May play a role in regulating leukocyte adhesion and migration processes at the endothelium. Binds to CX3CR1. Post-translational A soluble short 95 kDa form may be released by proteolytic cleavage from the long membrane-anchored form. O-glycosylated with core 1 or possibly core 8 glycans.
