Description
Recombinant Human Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor Receptor Subunit Alpha (CNTFR-alpha) Fragment (residues 23-307) is a high-purity protein designed for studying receptor-ligand interactions and neurotrophic signaling pathways. This fragment encompasses key functional domains, making it an ideal tool for investigating CNTF receptor specificity and related cytokine signaling mechanisms.
Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor Receptor Subunit Alpha (CNTFR-alpha) is a GPI-anchored cell membrane protein that serves as the specificity-determining subunit for CNTF binding. It functions as a receptor for the heterodimeric neurotropic cytokine composed of CLCF1/CLC and CRLF1/CLF-1, and also acts as part of a complex receptor for the neuroprotective peptide humanin in conjunction with IL6ST/GP130 and IL27RA/WSX1. The protein plays crucial roles in neurotrophic signaling and cellular protection pathways, with its membrane localization facilitating ligand recognition and signal initiation.
