Background: Ciliary neurotrophic factor is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CNTF gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a polypeptide hormone andnerve growth factor whose actions have mainly been studied in the nervous system where it promotes neurotransmitter synthesis and neurite outgrowth in certain neural populations includingastrocytes. It is mapped to 11q12.1. In addition to neurotrophic effects on parasympathetic neurons, CNTF was shown to have activities on sympathetic and sensory neurons. CNTF appears not to be involved in motor neuron survival during development. human CNTF has a trophic influence on degenerating striatal neurons as well as on critical nonstriatal regions. CNTF plays a role in a cardiac signal transduction pathway that regulates obesity-related left ventricular hypertrophy.

Immunogen: E. coli-derived rat CNTF recombinant protein (Position: A2-M200). Rat CNTF shares 84% and 95% amino acid (aa) sequences identity with human and mouse CNTF, respectively.

Clonality: Polyclonal

Contents: Each vial contains antibody formulated with stabilizing components, 0.9 mg NaCl, 0.2 mg Na2HPO4, and 0.05 mg NaN3.
*This antibody is supplied in a stabilized formulation.
Compatibility with conjugation reactions depends on the chemistry of the conjugation method used.
For conjugation methods that are not compatible with the stabilizing components present in this formulation, a carrier-free antibody format is required.

Purification: Immunogen affinity purified.

Reconstitution: Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.
