Cat. No. : |
CNTF-08H |
Product Overview : |
Recombinant human CNTF, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed inE.coliand purified by using conventional chromatography techniques(220 aa, 25 kDa). |
Description : |
CNTF (Ciliary neurotrophic factor) 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. This protein is a potent survival factor for neurons and oligodendrocytes and may be relevant in reducing tissue destruction during inflammatory attacks. CNTF protein is structurally related to leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-11 (IL-11) and oncostatin M (OSM). It is localized in the cell nucleus subsequent to receptor binding. |
