CNTF, Rat

• UNSPSC Description:

  CNTF is a pluripotent neurotrophic factor, belonging to the IL-6 cytokine family[1]. CNTF could protect retinal cone and rod photoreceptors[2]. CNTF has neuroprotective effects on a variety of central and also peripheral nervous system neurons[3]. CNTF Protein, Rat is produced by E. coli with tag freeg.
