Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) is one of a small number of proteins with neurotrophic activities distinct from nerve growth factor (NGF). The cDNA for human CNTF encodes a 200 amino acid residue polypeptide that lacks a signal sequence. Recombinant human CNTF containing 200 amino acids and it shares 82% and 83% a.a. sequence identity with mouse and rat CNTF. The protein is a potent survival factor for neurons and oligodendrocytes and may be relevant in reducing tissue destruction during inflammatory attacks. In addition, CNTF is useful for treatment of motor neuron disease and it could reduce food intake without causing hunger or stress. CNTF is structurally related to IL-6, IL-11, LIF and OSM. Among factors belonging to the CNTF family, CNTF, leukemia inhibitory factor, cardiotrophin-1, and oncostatin M induced a strong promyelinating effect.
