Gene: CNTFR
Official Full Name: ciliary neurotrophic factor receptorprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the type 1 cytokine receptor family. The encoded protein is the ligand-specific component of a tripartite receptor for ciliary neurotrophic factor, which plays a critical role in neuronal cell survival, differentiation and gene expression. Binding of ciliary neurotrophic factor to the encoded protein recruits the transmembrane components of the receptor, gp130 and leukemia inhibitory factor receptor, facilitating signal transduction. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in this gene may be associated with variations in muscle strength, as well as early onset of eating disorders. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2011]

CNTFR Gene Knockout Cell Lines are advanced biological tools designed specifically for the study of the CNTF (Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor) signaling pathway. By employing CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology, these cell lines have been engineered to disrupt the CNTFR gene, which encodes the receptor for CNTF, a critical neuroprotective cytokine. The resultant knockout cell lines provide a unique opportunity to delineate the role of CNTF signaling in neuronal survival, differentiation, and repair, allowing researchers to explore its implications in neurodegenerative diseases and neuronal health.
These cell lines operate through a significant mechanism of action where the absence of the CNTFR leads to a lack of downstream signaling, including the activation of key transcription factors such as STAT3. This selective knockout enables researchers to directly observe variations in cellular responses to CNTF treatment, offering insights into the gene’s contribution to cellular physiology.
The scientific importance of CNTFR Gene Knockout Cell Lines is profound in both basic research and clinical applications. These lines can facilitate studies on neuroinflammatory responses, guide therapeutic development for neurodegenerative conditions, and contribute to the understanding of glial and neuronal interactions in health and disease.
What sets our CNTFR knockout cell lines apart is their robustness and reliability compared to traditional knockout models, which may exhibit incomplete gene disruption. Furthermore, our expert team provides comprehensive support, including data interpretation and experimental design guidance, ensuring researchers derive maximum value from their work.
Choosing our CNTFR Gene Knockout Cell Lines equips researchers with a precise, high-quality tool that addresses critical gaps in neuroscience research, enhancing the potential for groundbreaking discoveries.
