Human Gene CTF1 (ENST00000279804.3) from GENCODE V44
  Description: Homo sapiens cardiotrophin 1 (CTF1), transcript variant 3, non-coding RNA. (from RefSeq NR_165660)
RefSeq Summary (NR_165660): The protein encoded by this gene is a secreted cytokine that induces cardiac myocyte hypertrophy in vitro. It has been shown to bind and activate the ILST/gp130 receoptor. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008].

-  Comments and Description Text from UniProtKB
  ID: CTF1_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Cardiotrophin-1; Short=CT-1;
FUNCTION: Induces cardiac myocyte hypertrophy in vitro. Binds to and activates the ILST/gp130 receptor.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highly expressed in heart, skeletal muscle, prostate and ovary. Lower levels in lung, kidney, pancreas, thymus, testis and small intestine. Little or no expression in brain, placenta, liver, spleen, colon or peripheral blood leukocytes.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the IL-6 superfamily.

FrontTopSide
The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
