Bacteria-Derived CNTF Recombinant Protein Lyophilized from Innovative Research has been recombinantly produced in E.coli. The protein formulation is lyophilized from a 0.2 ?m filtered solution of PBS,1mM Cysteine,PH7.4. with a purity of > 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE..

More Details:

• Species: Human
• Target: CNTF
• Purity: > 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE..< 1.0 EU per ?g as determined by the LAL method.
• Source: E.coli
• Storage Conditions: Lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80°C. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8? for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20? for 3 months.

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. The mechanism underlying the release of CNTF is unknown.
