General description
CNTF (Ciliary neurotrophic factor) is a neural cytokine belonging to the hematopoietic cytokine subfamily. It is predominantly expressed in the anterior nuclei of the thalamus.
Immunogen
Ciliary neurotrophic factor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.
The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions
CNTF (Ciliary neurotrophic factor) is crucial for the survival of ciliary ganglion neurons. The signaling cascade initiated by CNTF is mediated by heteromeric receptor complex composed of CNTF receptor α, leukemia inhibitory factor receptor β and glycoprotein gp130. The binding of CNTF to the receptor complex results in the activation of pathways involving Jak and STAT family of DNA-binding transcription factors. The effective therapeutic use of CTNF has been studied in retinitis pigmentosa, Parkinson′s disease, Huntington′s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Recent efforts to understand the mechanism of action of CNTF have led to the identification of a three-component receptor complex for CNTF. The distributions of these receptor components explain the known target cell specificity of CNTF, and have also helped
