CNTFR alpha Protein, Rat (sf9, His)
The CNTFR alpha protein is essential for binding to ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), ensuring receptor specificity through its alpha subunit. It forms a heterotrimeric complex with LIFR and IL6ST to form a functional receptor. CNTFR alpha Protein, Rat (sf9, His) is the recombinant rat-derived CNTFR alpha protein, expressed by Sf9 insect cells , with C-His labeled tag.

Description
The CNTFR alpha protein is essential for binding to ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), ensuring receptor specificity through its alpha subunit. It forms a heterotrimeric complex with LIFR and IL6ST to form a functional receptor. CNTFR alpha Protein, Rat (sf9, His) is the recombinant rat-derived CNTFR alpha protein, expressed by Sf9 insect cells , with C-His labeled tag.
Background
The CNTFR alpha protein plays a crucial role in binding to ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), with its alpha subunit providing receptor specificity. It forms a heterotrimeric complex with LIFR and IL6ST, contributing to the assembly of a functional receptor. Additionally, CNTFR alpha interacts with the heterodimeric neurotropic cytokine composed of CLCF1/CLC and CRLF1/CLF-1. Notably, whether in isolation or in conjunction with the CLCF1-CRLF1 heterodimer, CNTFR alpha engages with SORL1, potentially facilitating internalization and lysosomal degradation through this interaction.

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 from date of receipt. 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.
