Antigen Details
- Structure
- Homodimer
- Distribution
-
Astrocytes, microglia, hepatocytes, skeletal muscle, embryonic stem cells, and bone marrow stromal cells.
- Function
- Stimulates gene expression, along with cell survival or differentiation in neuronal cell types. It is a potent trophic factor for motor neurons. IL-1b, TNFα (TNF-α), and EGF induces the release of CNTF from astrocytes.
- Interaction
- Sensory, sympathethic, ciliary, motor neurons, microglia, retinal ganglion cells, adipocytes, and skeletal muscle cells.
- Ligand/Receptor
- Trimeric complex form by CNTF receptor-α(CNTFRα), LIF receptor (LIFR), and gp130/ CD130.
- Cell Type
- Astrocytes, Embryonic Stem Cells, Microglia
- Biology Area
- Cell Biology, Stem Cells
