What happens when the gp130 subunit and the leukemia inhibitory factor receptor β-subunit is combined with a ciliary neurotrophic factor’s receptor subunit?

Correct Answer: A preference for ciliary neurotrophic factor developed
When paired with a ciliary neurotrophic factor’s receptor subunit, the gp130 subunit and the leukemia inhibitory factor receptor’s β-subunit show a preference for the ciliary neurotrophic factor. It is a trophic factor that is also a potent appetite suppressor for motor neurons in the ciliary ganglia and spinal cord.
