CT-1 is a pleiotropic cytokine which is expressed in various tissues including the adult heart, skeletal muscle, ovary, colon, prostate and fetal lung. In addition, CT-1 which induces cardiac myocyte hypertrophy in vitro can bind to and activate the ILST/gp130 receptor.

Human and murine CT1 share 80 % a.a. sequence identity and exhibit cross-species activity., UnitProt ID: Q60753
