CNTFR alpha Protein, Rat (sf9, His)

CNTFR alpha protein is pivotal in binding to ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), ensuring receptor specificity through its alpha subunit. It forms a heterotrimeric complex with LIFR and IL6ST, contributing to a functional receptor. CNTFR alpha also interacts with the CLCF1/CLC and CRLF1/CLF-1 heterodimer. Whether alone or with the CLCF1-CRLF1 heterodimer, CNTFR alpha engages with SORL1, potentially facilitating internalization and lysosomal degradation through this interaction. CNTFR alpha Protein, Rat (sf9, His) is the recombinant rat-derived CNTFR alpha protein, expressed by Sf9 insect cells, with C-His labeled tag. The total length of CNTFR alpha Protein, Rat (sf9, His) is 346 a.a., with molecular weight of ~48 KDa.

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.
