Human Recombinant CNTF (from E. coli)

About this item

CNTF is a potent neural factor that was originally characterized as a vital factor for the survival of chick ciliary neurons in vitro . CNTF is also important for the survival of other neural cell types, including primary sensory neurons, motor neurons, basal forebrain neurons and type 2 astrocytes. CNTF is highly conserved across species and exhibits cross-species bioactivity. Recombinant Human CNTF is synthesized as a 199 amino acid polypeptide (22.8 kDa) lacking a hydrophobic N-terminal signal for secretion.
