GeneID: 25707 Rat CNTF

Swiss-port # P20294 Rat Ciliary neurotrophic factor

Gene Symbol CNTF
Gene Full Name ciliary neurotrophic factor
Background 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 the upstream ZFP91 gene 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. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]
Function CNTF is a survival factor for various neuronal cell types. Seems to prevent the degeneration of motor axons after axotomy. [UniProt]
Cellular Localization Cytoplasm. [UniProt]
