Chemokine receptor CX3CR1 structures uncover mechanism of cholesterol regulation in activation

Chemokine receptors regulate the migration of immune cells and are involved in inflammation, tumor construction and pathogen infection. Chemokines are divided into four subfamilies according to the number and distribution of conserved cysteines at the N terminus: CC, CXC, CX3C, and XC.
