Cardiotrophin Like Cytokine Factor 1 (CLCF1) Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

CLCF1: Cytokine with B-cell stimulating capability. Binds to and activates the ILST/gp130 receptor. Defects in CLCF1 are the cause of cold-induced sweating syndrome type 2 (CISS2). Cold-induced sweating syndrome (CISS) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by profuse sweating induced by cool surroundings (temperatures of 7 to 18 degrees Celsius). Additional abnormalities include a high- arched palate, nasal voice, depressed nasal bridge, inability to fully extend the elbows and kyphoscoliosis. Belongs to the IL-6 superfamily. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
