Enables ciliary neurotrophic factor receptor binding activity and cytokine activity. Involved in several processes, including membrane hyperpolarization; neurogenesis; and positive regulation of cell communication. Located in several cellular components, including glial cell projection; neuronal cell body; and plasma membrane bounded cell projection cytoplasm. Used to study Huntington's disease and glaucoma. Biomarker of hyperglycemia and retinitis pigmentosa. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Huntington's disease; disease of mental health; glaucoma; multiple sclerosis; and obesity. Orthologous to human CNTF (ciliary neurotrophic factor); PARTICIPATES IN cytokine mediated signaling pathway; Jak-Stat signaling pathway; INTERACTS WITH (+)-pilocarpine; 17beta-estradiol; 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxine.
