Target
CNTFR/CNTFR-alpha
Background
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.

Molecular weight
This protein rh CNTFR alpha is fused with polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus, has a calculated MW of 36.9 kDa. The predicted N-terminus is Gln 23. DTT-reduced Protein migrates as 45-48 kDa due to glycosylation.

Description
The CellExp™CNTFR/CNTFR-alpha, recombinant is a α- or alpha protein sometimes glycoprotein present in blood.
Properties
Human proteins, cDNA and human recombinants are used in human reactive ELISA kits and to produce anti-human mono and polyclonal antibodies. Modern humans (Homo sapiens, primarily ssp. Homo sapiens sapiens). Depending on the epitopes used human ELISA kits can be cross reactive to many other species. Mainly analyzed are human serum, plasma, urine, saliva, human cell culture supernatants and biological samples.
