| UniProt functional annotation for P26992 | |||
| UniProt code: P26992. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Binds to CNTF. The alpha subunit provides the receptor specificity. Receptor for heterodimeric neurotropic cytokine composed of CLCF1/CLC and CRLF1/CLF-1 (PubMed:26858303). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26858303}. | |
| Subunit: | Forms a heterotrimer with LIFR and IL6ST. Interacts with heterodimeric neurotropic cytokine composed of CLCF1/CLC and CRLF1/CLF- 1 (PubMed:26858303). Either alone or in complex with the heterodimer CLCF1-CRLF1 interacts with SORL1; this interaction may promote internalization and lysosomal degradation (PubMed:26858303). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26858303}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Nervous system and skeletal muscle. | |
| Domain: | The WSXWS motif appears to be necessary for proper protein folding and thereby efficient intracellular transport and cell-surface receptor binding. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Type 3 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}. | |
