Fractalkine Recombinant Protein

Fractalkine is a CX3CL chemokine that signals through the CX3CR1 receptor. Fractalkine has been shown to chemoattract monocytes, microglia cells and NK cells. Recombinant rat Fractalkine is an 8.7 kDa protein containing 76 amino acid residues, including the four conserved cysteine residues present in CC chemokines.

The lyophilized Fractalkine recombinant protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20˚ C. Reconstituted Fractalkine is stable for at least 3 months when stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -20˚ C. As with any protein, exposing Fractalkine recombinant protein to repeated freeze / thaw cycles is not recommended. When working with proteins care should be taken to keep recombinant protein at a cool and stable temperature.
