Recombinant Human CNTF, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: CNTF-26842TH
• Product Overview: Recombinant full length human CNTF, fused to His-tag at N-terminus; 220 amino acids, 25 kDa.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: His
• 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.
