Gene ID: 1271 | Gene type: protein coding

About CNTFR

Cytogenetic location: 9p13.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 9:34,551,433-34,590,852 (from NCBI)

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 201 orthologues and 23 paralogues. Biased expression in fat (RPKM 23.5), brain (RPKM 9.3) and 10 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the type 1 cytokine receptor family. The encoded protein is the ligand-specific component of a tripartite receptor for ciliary neurotrophic factor, which plays a critical role in neuronal cell survival, differentiation and gene expression. Binding of ciliary neurotrophic factor to the encoded protein recruits the transmembrane components of the receptor, gp130 and Leukemia Inhibitory Factor receptor, facilitating signal transduction. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in this gene may be associated with variations in muscle strength, as well as early onset of eating disorders. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2011]
