Cardiotrophin-1 Definition

Cardiotrophin 1 was cloned via its ability to potently induce cardiac myocyte hypertrophy in vitro. It is a member of the family of cytokines that includes leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), oncostatin M (OSM), and interleukin 6 (IL6). Several members of this family that are known to signal through the transmembrane protein gp130 stimulate cardiac myocyte hypertrophy, like cardiotrophin 1, suggesting that the gp130 signaling pathway may play a role in cardiac hypertrophy.
