Description
Human CellExp™CNTFR/CNTFR-alpha, human recombinant is available at Gentaur for Next week delivery.
This receptor and its cognate ligand support the survival of neurons.
Biomolecule/Target: CNTFR/CNTFR-alpha
Alternates names: CNTFR, CNTF R alpha
Synonyms: CNTFR, CNTF R alpha
Background Information: Ciliary neurotrophic factor receptor subunit alpha (CNTFR or CNTFR-alpha) belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family and type 3 subfamily. CNTFR contains two fibronectin type-III domains and one Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain. This receptor and its cognate ligand support the survival of neurons. This receptor is most closely related to the interleukin-6 receptor. This receptor possesses an unusual attachment to the cell membrane through a glycophosphatidylinositol linkage.
Reconstitution Instructions: Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in PBS, pH 7.4. Do not vortex.
