Cx3cl1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables chemokine activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cytokine stimulus; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and regulation of signal transduction. Located in several cellular components, including neuron projection; neuronal cell body; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Used to study acute pancreatitis; ischemia; and status epilepticus. Biomarker of several diseases, including borna disease; brain disease (multiple); liver disease (multiple); lung disease (multiple); and pulmonary hypertension. 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, Jul 2025]
