CNTF (animal free), human recombinant
CNTF is a neurotrophic factor that promotes the survival of various neuronal cell types and may play an important role in the injury response in the nervous system. CNTF, like FGF-1, FGF-2 and PD-ECGF (platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor), does not possess a signal sequence that would allow secretion of the factor by classical secretion pathways (endoplasmatic reticulum/Golgi system). The mechanism underlying the release of CNTF is unknown. Recombinant Human CNTF is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain.

-20°C
Produced using animal free raw components and processes, in a non-mammalian system. Ideal for researchers concerned about the risks and effects of contaminating viruses, prions and trace growth factors from FBS and animal-derived ingredients used in standard recombinant protein production techniques. Endotoxin levels are less than 1.0 EU per ug protein via LAL. Bioactivity is comparable to recombinant protein produced in traditional techniques.
