Gene Alias
Enables ciliary neurotrophic factor receptor binding activity and cytokine activity. Involved in several processes, including membrane hyperpolarization; neurogenesis; and positive regulation of cell communication. Located in several cellular components, including axon; neuronal cell body; and plasma membrane bounded cell projection cytoplasm. Used to study Huntington’s disease and glaucoma. Biomarker of hyperglycemia and retinitis pigmentosa. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Huntington’s disease; disease of mental health; glaucoma; multiple sclerosis; and obesity. Orthologous to human CNTF (ciliary neurotrophic factor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

gene 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 may be relevant in reducing tissue destruction during inflammatory attacks. A mutation in this gene, which results in aberrant splicing, leads to ciliary neurotrophic factor deficiency, but this phenotype is not causally related to neurologic disease. A read-through transcript variant composed of the upstream ZFP91 gene and CNTF sequence has been identified, but it is thought to be non-coding. Read-through transcription of ZFP91 and CNTF has also been observed in mouse. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]
