Recombinant Human CNTF

Cat.No. : CNTF-26841TH
Product Overview : Recombinant full length protein (Human)
  • Specification
  • Gene Information

Description : The protein encoded by this gene is a polypeptide hormone whose actions appear to be restricted to the nervous system where it promotes neurotransmitter synthesis and neurite outgrowth in certain neuronal populations. The protein is a potent survival factor for neurons and oligodendrocytes and may be relevant in reducing tissue destruction during inflammatory attacks. A mutation in this gene, which results in aberrant splicing, leads to ciliary neurotrophic factor deficiency, but this phenotype is not causally related to neurologic disease. A read-through transcript variant composed of the upstream ZFP91 gene and CNTF sequence has been identified, but it is thought to be non-coding. Read-through transcription of ZFP91 and CNTF has also been observed in mouse.

Q&As (7)

Ask a question
How does CNTF affect glial cell function? 08/18/2021

CNTF plays a crucial role in regulating glial cell function. It can modulate astrocyte and oligodendrocyte differentiation, promote myelination, and regulate the release of neurotrophic factors from glial cells. CNTF also influences glial cell-mediated immune responses and their interaction with neurons in various pathological conditions.

What are the signaling pathways activated by CNTF in neurons and glial cells? 11/28/2020

CNTF activates multiple signaling pathways, including JAK/STAT, PI3K/AKT, and MAPK/ERK, in both neurons and glial cells. These pathways play crucial roles in regulating gene expression, cell survival, differentiation, and synaptic plasticity.

What is the role of CNTF in neuroinflammation? 09/08/2019

CNTF plays a significant role in modulating neuroinflammatory responses. It can regulate the activation and function of microglia and astrocytes, leading to the production of pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory factors. CNTF also influences the recruitment and activation of immune cells in the central nervous system.

How does CNTF affect synaptic plasticity? 10/22/2016

CNTF has been shown to modulate synaptic plasticity, which underlies learning and memory processes. It promotes the formation and stabilization of synapses, regulates neurotransmitter release, and influences synaptic strength and plasticity through its interaction with specific receptors and downstream signaling molecules.

What are the challenges in developing CNTF-based therapies? 10/16/2016

Developing CNTF-based therapies faces challenges such as the need for targeted delivery to specific brain regions, potential side effects due to systemic administration, and the need to optimize dosing and treatment regimens. Additionally, understanding the precise mechanisms of CNTF action and identifying suitable patient populations for treatment are important considerations.

How does CNTF promote neuronal survival and regeneration? 04/14/2016

CNTF exerts neuroprotective effects by promoting neuronal survival and regeneration through the activation of various intracellular signaling pathways. It enhances the expression of neurotrophic factors, regulates apoptosis-related genes, and stimulates axonal outgrowth and synaptic remodeling.

Can CNTF be a potential therapeutic approach for neurodegenerative diseases? 02/07/2016

CNTF shows promise as a potential therapeutic approach for neurodegenerative diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and retinal degeneration. Its neuroprotective and neurotrophic effects make it a potential candidate for promoting neuronal survival, preventing neurodegeneration, and improving functional recovery in these conditions.
