IV. Literature review

[source]
Gene nameCNTFR
Protein nameCiliary neurotrophic factor receptor subunit alpha (CNTF receptor subunit alpha) (CNTFR-alpha)
Ciliary neurotrophic factor receptor subunit alpha
Synonyms
DescriptionFUNCTION: Binds to CNTF. The alpha subunit provides the receptor specificity. Receptor for heterodimeric neurotropic cytokine composed of CLCF1/CLC and CRLF1/CLF-1 . Acts as a receptor for the neuroprotective peptide humanin as part of a complex with IL6ST/GP130 and IL27RA/WSX1 . .
