| Background | CNTF also known as ciliary neurotrphic factor is a survival factor for various neurol cell types. CNTF is highly conserved across species and exhibits cross-species bioactivity. CNTF is a 25 kDa polypeptide that was origilly isolated as a target-derived survival factor of parasympathetic ciliary ganglion neurons. Binding of CNTF to CNTF receptor triggers heterodimerization of gp130 and LIFR, forming an active trimeric receptor complex and activates the downstream sigling pathway. |
