CX3CL1, hemokin (C-X3-C motiv) ligand 1, je veliki citokin protein sa 373 aminokiseline. On sadrži više domena. Ovo je jedini član CX3C hemokin familije. On je poznat pod imenima fraktalkin (kod ljudi) i neurotaktin (kod miševa).[1][2] Polipeptidna struktura CXC3L1 se razlikuje od tipične strukture drugih hemokina. Na primer, razmak između karakterističnih N-terminalnihcisteina je različit; postoje tri aminokiseline između inicijalnog para cisteina u CX3CL1, koji se ne javljaju u CC hemokinima. Postoji samo jedna aminokiselina u tom segmentu CXC hemokina. CX3CL1 se proizvodi kao dugački protein (sa 373 aminokiseline kod ljudi) sa produženim poput mucina stablom i hemokin domenom na vrhu. Mucinu-slično stablo dozvoljava mu da se veže na površinu pojedinih ćelija. Rastvorna (90 kD) verzija ovog hemokina takođe je bila primećena. Rastvorni CX3CL1 je potencijalni hemoatraktant T ćelija i monocita, dok hemokin vezan za ćeliju promoviše snažnu adheziju leukocita na aktivirane endotelne ćelije, gde je on prvenstveno izražen.[2] CX3CL1 izaziva svoje adhezivne i migratorne funkcije putem interakcija sa hemokin receptorom CX3CR1.[3] Njegov gene je lociran na ljudskom hromozom 16 zajedno sa nekim CC hemokinima poznatim kao CCL17 i CCL22.[2][4][5]
