Ciliary neurotrophic factor receptor
- Ciliary neurotrophic factor receptor
-
The ciliary neurotrophic factor receptor also known as CNTFR binds the ciliary neurotrophic factor. This receptor and its cognate ligand support the survival of neurons.[1] This receptor is most closely related to the interleukin-6 receptor. This receptor possesses an unusual attachment to the cell membrane through a glycophosphatidylinositol linkage.[2]
