Principle of the Assay: The LumiAb Human Fractalkine Chemiluminescent ELISA Kit contains the components necessary for quantitative determination of natural or recombinant Human Fractalkine concentrations within any experimental sample including cell lysates, serum and plasma. This particular immunoassay utilizes the quantitative technique of a "Sandwich" Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) where the target protein (antigen) is bound in a "sandwich" format by the primary capture antibodies coated to each well-bottom and the secondary detection antibodies added subsequently by the investigator. The capture antibodies coated to the bottom of each well are specific for a particular epitope on Human Fractalkine while the user-added detection antibodies bind to epitopes on the captured target protein. Amid each step of the procedure, a series of wash steps must be performed to ensure the elimination of non-specific binding between proteins to other proteins or to the solid phase. After incubation and "sandwiching" of the target antigen, a peroxidase enzyme is conjugated to the constant heavy chain of the secondary antibody (either covalently or via Avidin/Streptavidin-Biotin interactions), allowing for a sensitive luminescent reaction to ensue upon substrate addition. When the Peroxide Enhancer solution is added, the reaction catalyzed by peroxidase yields light that is representative of the antigen concentration. After a brief incubation, the microplate can be read with a luminometer, allowing for generation of a standard curve and subsequent determination of protein concentration!!Background/Introduction: Fractalkine, also known as C-X3-C motif chemokine 1 (CX3CL1), is a 397 amino acid single-pass type I membrane protein. The processed fractalkine is secreted. Fractalkine belongs to the intercrine delta family. 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. Fractalkine may play a role in regulating leukocyte adhesion and migration processes at the endothelium. It binds to CX3CR1 and can be found in the small intestine, colon, testis, prostate, heart, brain, lung, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas. Fractalkine is induced by TNF and IL1/interleukin-1 in pulmonary endothelial cells and umbilical vein endothelial cells. A soluble short 95 kDa form may be released by proteolytic cleavage from the long membrane-anchored form. Fractalkine is O-glycosylated with core 1 or possibly core 8 glycans after post-translational modification.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a member of the galectin family of carbohydrate binding proteins. Members of this protein family have an affinity for beta-galactosides. The encoded protein is characterized by an N-terminal proline-rich tandem repeat domain and a single C-terminal carbohydrate recognition domain. This protein can self-associate through the N-terminal domain allowing it to bind to multivalent saccharide ligands. This protein localizes to the extracellular matrix, the cytoplasm and the nucleus. This protein plays a role in numerous cellular functions including apoptosis, innate immunity, cell adhesion and T-cell regulation. The protein exhibits antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungi. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]
