CNTF - ciliary neurotrophic factor Gene
Also Known as HCNTF
Species: Homo sapiens
About CNTF
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant) and 170 orthologues. Broad expression in bone marrow (RPKM 2.5), testis (RPKM 0.8) and 20 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a polypeptide hormone whose actions appear to be restricted to the nervous system where it promotes neurotransmitter synthesis and neurite outgrowth in certain neuronal populations. The protein is a potent survival factor for neurons and oligodendrocytes and may be relevant in reducing tissue destruction during inflammatory attacks. A mutation in this gene, which results in aberrant splicing, leads to ciliary neurotrophic factor deficiency, but this phenotype is not causally related to neurologic disease. A read-through transcript variant composed of the upstream ZFP91 gene and CNTF sequence has been identified, but it is thought to be non-coding. Read-through transcription of ZFP91 and CNTF has also been observed in mouse. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]
