Synonyms :

CT-1

Description :

CT-1 is a member of the IL-6 family of cytokines which also includes LIF, CNTF, OSM (Oncostatin M), IL-11, IL-6 and possibly NNT-1/ BCSF-3. CT-1 is a pleiotropic cytokine which is expressed in various tissues including the ***** heart, skeletal muscle, ovary, colon, prostate and fetal lung and signals through the LIF receptor and the gp130 receptor subunit. CT-1 has the ability to induce cardiac myocyte hypertrophy, and enhances the survival of cardiomyocyte and different neuronal populations. Recombinant murine Cardiotrophin-1 is a 21.3 kDa protein consisting of 202 amino acid residues.
