Cardiotrophin1 (CT1) is a member of the cytokine family which also includes IL-6, IL-11, leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), oncostatin M (OSM), and ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF). CT-1 is a pleiotropic cytokine which is expressed in various tissues including the adult heart, skeletal muscle, ovary, colon, prostate and fetal lung. Studies showed CT-1 which induces cardiac myocyte hypertrophy in vitro can bind to and activate the ILST/gp130 receptor. Rat CT1 encodes a 203 amino acid (a.a.) residue protein that lacks a hydrophobic signal peptide and it shares 94 % a.a. and 79 % a.a. sequence identity with human and murine CT-1.
