CNTF, Mouse (His)

CNTF is a pluripotent neurotrophic factor, belonging to the IL-6 cytokine family[1]. CNTF could protect retinal cone and rod photoreceptors[2]. CNTF has neuroprotective effects on a variety of central and also peripheral nervous system neurons[3]. CNTF Protein, Mouse (His) is produced by E. coli (A2-M198) with N-terminal His-tag.
