Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 1270
Gene name Ciliary neurotrophic factor
Gene symbol CNTF
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
HCNTF
Chromosome 11
Chromosome location 11q12.1
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 fact
