Product Specs

Introduction
Cardiotrophin-like cytokine factor 1 (CLCF1), part of the interleukin 6 cytokine family, signals cells by phosphorylating gp130. This cytokine is comprised of 225 amino acids, including a 27 amino acid signal peptide, resulting in a mature form with a molecular mass of 22kDa. Notably, it shares the highest homology with cardiotrophin-1 and ciliary neurotrophic factor. CLCF1 is actively secreted from cells by forming a complex with soluble type I CRLF1 or soluble CNTFR. Genetic defects in CLCF1 are linked to cold-induced sweating syndrome 2 (CISS2), characterized by excessive sweating after cold exposure and congenital physical abnormalities in the head and spine.

Product Science Overview

Structure and Function

CLCF1 forms a heterodimeric complex with Cytokine Receptor-Like Factor 1 (CRLF1) . This complex competes with Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor (CNTF) for binding to the Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor Receptor (CNTFR) complex, thereby activating the Jak-STAT signaling cascade . The CLCF1-CRLF1 complex can be actively secreted from cells by forming a complex with soluble type I CRLF1 or soluble CNTFR .

Biological Roles
  1. Neuronal Development: CLCF1 is a potent neurotrophic factor that plays a vital role in the survival and differentiation of neuronal cells .
  2. Immune Regulation: It acts as a B-cell stimulatory agent, enhancing the proliferation and differentiation of B-cells .
  3. Neuroendocrine Modulation: CLCF1 influences pituitary corticotroph function, thereby modulating neuroendocrine activities .
Clinical Significance

Mutations in the CLCF1 gene are associated with Crisponi/Cold-Induced Sweating Syndrome 2 (CISS2) . This syndrome is characterized by profuse sweating after exposure to cold and congenital physical abnormalities of the head and spine . The CLCF1-CRLF1 complex has also been implicated in various developmental and pathological conditions, highlighting its importance in both health and disease .

Research and Therapeutic Potential

Given its crucial roles in neuronal development and immune regulation, CLCF1 has emerged as a potential therapeutic target for various neurological and immunological disorders . Ongoing research aims to further elucidate its mechanisms of action and explore its therapeutic applications.
