Cardiotrophin-1/CTF1 Protein, Mouse (HEK293)

Cardiotrophin-1/CTF1 Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His), a member of IL-6 family of cytokines, is required for cardiac myocyte maturation and plays an important role in the differentiation, development, and survival of neural stem cells.

Cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1) is required for cardiac myocyte maturation and is capable of promoting cell survival in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes subjected to serum deprivation through an antiapoptotic pathway mediated by MAPK, ERK1/2CT1^[1]. CT-1 exhibits impressive neuroprotective effects and delay the procession of motor neuron degenerative disorders by prolonging the median neuronal survival time, improving motor function and promoting regeneration in neonatal rat motor neurons in mouse models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, progressive motor neuropathy and spinal muscular atrophy and in adult rats with spinal cord injuries^[2].
