Tag Info
N-terminal His-tagged/Tag-Free
The tag type will be determined during production process. If you have specified tag type, please tell us and we will develop the specified tag preferentially.
Storage
Store at -20°C, for extended storage, conserve at -20°C or -80°C.
Shelf Life
The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself.
Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
Notes
Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.

Target Background

Function(From Uniprot)
Binds to CNTF. The alpha subunit provides the receptor specificity. Receptor for heterodimeric neurotropic cytokine composed of CLCF1/CLC and CRLF1/CLF-1. Acts as a receptor for the neuroprotective peptide humanin as part of a complex with IL6ST/GP130 and IL27RA/WSX1.
Gene References into Functions
  1. The family-based study showed no association between the CNTFR rs7036351, NET rs3785143 polymorphisms, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. PMID:24565995
  2. gene expression and surface expression in NK92 cells of ciliary neurotrophic factor alpha (CNTFR-alpha) and glycoprotein (gp)130 in natural killer (NK) cells, in the context of malaria, were investigated. PMID:23398366
  3. Data indicate that CNTFRalpha plays a role in the formation or maintenance of tumor-initiating cells in gliomas, is a marker that correlates with histological grade, may underlie treatment resistance in some cases, and is a potential therapeutic target. PMID:23061382
  4. expression of neurotrophin receptors Pan-Trk, p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75(NTR) and ciliary neurotrophic factor receptor-alpha in ulveal melanoma does not show a role in growth. PMID:22343487
  5. Data show that variants in CNTFR were significantly associated with a lower age at onset of the eating disorders. PMID:20219210
  6. interactions of CNTFR with LIFR and gp130 in vitro PMID:12707266
  7. C174T polymorphism in exon 9 of CNTFR is significantly associated with fat-free mass in men and women, with concomitant differences in muscular strength. PMID:12807897
  8. Structural and docking interaction studies showed that the R197L substitution destabilized the contact site between CLC and CNTFRalpha. PMID:16782820
  9. In liver CNTFRalpha serves as a key modulator in regulating PI3K and AMP-activated protein kinase dynamically under CNTF stimulation, resulting in the increase of glucose uptake and translocation of glucose transporter 4. PMID:18307269
  10. These results indicate that humanin protects neurons by binding to a complex or complexes involving CNTFR/WSX-1/gp130. PMID:19386761
