Recombinant Human CTF1 Ser2-Ala201

CTF1, or Cardiotrophin 1, is a member of the IL-6 superfamily and plays a critical role in cardiac physiology. This protein is primarily involved in promoting cardiac myocyte hypertrophy in vitro and is known for its ability to bind to and activate the ILST/gp130 receptor. CTF1 is primarily expressed in cardiac tissues, and its dysregulation has been implicated in various cardiac diseases, making it an essential target for cardiovascular research. Its unique ability to modulate cellular responses highlights its importance for laboratory professionals studying heart-related pathologies and signaling pathways related to growth factors.
