Summary: 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. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2008]

A novel CNTF-mediated mechanism in stress-induced depressive-like behavior which points to opportunities for sex-specific treatments for depression, e.g. progesterone in females and CNTF-stimulating drugs in males.

This study demonstrated that the Inhibition of astrocyte FAK-JNK signaling promotes subventricular zone neurogenesis through CNTF.

Rod a-wave and cone b-wave amplitudes of electroretinograms were increased in Cntf (-/-) mice, but rod b-wave amplitudes were unchanged compared with those in WT mice. Up-regulated RPE65 and LRAT levels accelerated both the visual cycle rate and recovery rate of rod light sensitivity in Cntf (-/-) mice.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
