Product Overview | |
| Name | CNTF Human, His Active |
|---|---|
| Description | |
| Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor Human Recombinant, His Tag Active | |
| Accession (Primary) | P26441 |
| Synonyms | |
| HCNTF, CNTF, Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor. | |
| Introduction | |
| CNTF is a polypeptide hormone whose actions appear to be restricted to the nervous system where it promotes neurotransmitter synthesis and neurite outgrowth in certain neuronal populations. The protein is a potent survival factor for neurons and oligodendrocytes and may be relevant in reducing tissue destruction during inflammatory attacks. A mutation in this gene, which results in aberrant splicing, leads to ciliary neurotrophic factor deficiency, but this phenotype is not causally related to neurologic disease. In addition to the predominant monocistronic transcript originating from this locus, the gene is also co-transcribed with the upstream ZFP91 gene. Co-transcription from the two loci results in a transcript that contains a complete coding region for the zinc finger protein but lacks a complete coding region for ciliary neurotrophic factor. CNTF is a survival factor for various neuronal cell types. Seems to prevent the degeneration of motor axons after axotomy. | |
| Source | |
| Escherichia Coli. | |
| Physical Appearance | |
| Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. | |
| Formulation | |
| Lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4. | |
| Stability | |
| Lyophilized Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution CNTF should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. | |
| Purity | |
| Greater than 97.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. | |

| Biological Activity | |
| Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependant stimulation of TF-1 cells is less than 35ng/ml, corresponding to a Specific Activity of 3.0×10 4 IU/mg. | |
| Solubility | |
| It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized CNTF in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. | |
| Precautions | |
| CNTF Human, His Active is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. | |
