Animal-Free CNTF 蛋白, Mouse (His)

CNTF is a pluripotent neurotrophic factor, belonging to the IL-6 cytokine family^[1]. CNTF could protect retinal cone and rod photoreceptors^[2]. CNTF has neuroprotective effects on a variety of central and also peripheral nervous system neurons^[3]. Animal-Free CNTF Protein, Mouse (His) is produced by E. coli (M1-M198)with C-terminal His-tag.

睫状神经营养因子 (CNTF) 属于 IL-6 细胞因子家族。IL-6、IL-11 和 CNTF 与细胞因子反式信号传导相关。CNTF 与 IL-6 受体亚基 α (IL-6Rα) 表现出低亲和力相互作用，导致 IL-6Rβ/gp130/LIFR 信号受体复合物的形成和激活^[1]。CNTF 也是神经视网膜和感光细胞间基质中的一种细胞外信号蛋白，与 RPE、Muller 和感光细胞的膜相关^[2]。CNTF 对多种中枢和周围神经系统神经元具有神经保护作用。因为它在体外条件下促进少突胶质细胞前体细胞向少突胶质细胞的分化和成熟，从而改善髓鞘再生。重要的是，它还能提高成熟少突胶质细胞的存活率^[3]。人CNTF蛋白序列与小鼠和大鼠的相似性分别为81.82%和84.0%。

CNTF (小鼠; 10 ng/mL; 1 h) 抑制胎鼠皮质神经元高阈值钙通道电流^[4]。

CNTF (小鼠; 0.3 mg/kg; 腹腔注射; 单次剂量) 注射到 C57/Bl6 小鼠腹腔内，激活 AMPK，增加基因表达^[5]。

Measure by its ability to induce proliferation in TF-1 cells. The ED₅₀ for this effect is <10 ng/mL. The specific activity of recombinant mouse CNTF is > 1 x 10⁵ IU/mg

Approximately 23.40 kDa

Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

无菌粉末

Lyophilized from a solution containing 1X PBS, pH 7.4, trehalose.

<0.1 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH₂O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Stored at -20°C for 2 years. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
