Ciliary neurotrophic factor is a potent polypeptide hormone whose actions appear to be restricted to the nervous system where it promotes survival, neurotransmitter synthesis and neurite outgrowth in certain neuronal populations. The gene is located on chromosome 11, as determined using human-hamster somatic cell hybrids. The protein is highly conserved in evolution. The amino acid (aa) sequences of rat and rabbit CNTF translated from cDNAs display ~85% homology with the deduced aa sequence encoding human CNTF. CNTF induces weight loss and improves glucose tolerance in humans and rodents. It is thought to act centrally by inducing hypothalamic neurogenesis to modulate food intake and peripherally by altering hepatic gene expression, in a manner similar to that of leptin.
The stated application concentrations are suggested starting amounts. Titration of the CNTF antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
Human partial recombinant protein (AA 2-200) was used as the immunogen for this CNTF antibody.
After reconstitution, the CNTF antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
