Function
Functions as a cytokine through the ciliary neurotrophic factor receptor (CNTFR) complex. The CNTFR complex indeed consists of the membrane-anchored non-signaling receptor CNTFR and the two signaling receptor subunits IL6ST/gp130 and LIFR that transduce the signal into the cell. Functionally, promotes neuronal survival, supports differentiation of various neuronal and non-neuronal cells, and importantly regulates oligodendrocyte progenitor proliferation.
