INTRODUCTION
Cardiotrophin-like cytokine (CLC/ NNT-1) belongs to the IL-6 family of cytokines. All family members share the receptor subunit gp130, which belongs to the type I cytokine receptor superfamily. NNT1 is a trophic factor for motor neurons, a stimulator of ACTH release from corticotrophs, and an inducer of IgE synthesis and B cell proliferation. Cells expressing NNT-1 include embryonic muscle, lung epithelium, and mesenchyme. NNT1 binds to and activates the ILST/gp130 receptor.
DESCRIPTION
Neurotrophin-1 Human Recombinant (28-225) produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 199 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 22kDa.
The NNT-1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
