PA1-24826 detects CNTF from rat samples. PA1-24826 is expected to cross react with human (85% conserved) and rabbit (85% conserved) due to sequence homology.
PA1-24826 has been successfully used in neutralization, inhibition assays, and Western blot procedures. Neutralization: The ND50 is 80 ug/ml.
The PA1-24826 immunogen is recombinant, full length rat CNTF protein, expressed in E. coli.
The protein encoded by this gene 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. A read-through transcript variant composed of ZFP91 and CNTF sequence has been identified, but it is thought to be non-coding. Read-through transcription of ZFP91 and CNTF has also been observed in mouse.
