Description

Introduction
Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor (CNTF) is a potent survival factor for neurons and oligodendrocytes. CNTF has also been shown to prevent the degeneration of motor axons after axotomy. CNTF is highly conserved across species and exhibits cross-species activities. Human and rat CNTF share approximately 83% homology in their protein sequence. CNTF is structurally related to IL6, IL11, LIF and OSM. All of these four helix bundle cytokines share gp130 as a signal transducing subunit in their receptor complexes. CNTF, like FGF acidic, FGF basic, and PD-ECGF (platelet-derived.endothelial cell growth factor), does not possess a signal sequence that would allow secretion of the factor by classical secretion pathways.

BP001012-CYT-654: Recombinant Rat CNTF Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor (CNTF) Protein

Source: E. coli-derived.
Predicted molecular mass: 22834 Dalton.
Purity: > 99% by SDS-PAGE and Gel Filtration.
Formulation: Lyophilized from a concentrated (1 ug/ml) solution in water containing 0.025% NaHCO3.
Reconstitution: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized CNTF in sterile water or 0.4% NaHCO3 adjusted to pH 8-9, not less than 100 ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions, preferably in presence of carrier protein.

Shipping: The product is shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature recommended below.
