| Description : |
The protein encoded by this gene is a polypeptide hormone whose actions appear to be restricted to the nervous system where it promotes neurotransmitter synthesis and neurite outgrowth in certain neuronal populations. The protein is a potent survival factor for neurons and oligodendrocytes, and it may be involved in reducing tissue destruction during inflammatory attacks. A read-through transcript variant composed of Zfp91 and Cntf sequences has been identified, but it is thought to be non-coding. Read-through transcription of Zfp91 and Cntf has been observed in both human and mouse. |

| Endotoxin : |
<0.1 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method. |
| Purity : |
>98% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Ni-NTA chromatography |
| Notes : |
Please use within one month after protein reconstitution. |
| Storage : |
Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C. Upon reconstitution, protein aliquots should be stored at -20°C or -80°C. |
| Storage Buffer : |
The protein was lyophilized from a solution containing 1X PBS, pH 7.4. |
| Reconstitution : |
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile H2O to a concentration not less than 100 μg/mL and incubate the stock solution for at least 20 min to ensure sufficient re-dissolved. |
