Name :
Mouse LIF protein, Fc-fusion, Biotinylated, recombinant
Description :
Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is a member of a cytokine family that includes oncostatin M (OSM), granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), and interleukin 6 (IL-6). It shows a wide spectrum of biologic activities, including the growth promotion and differentiation of different types of cells, bone metabolism, cachexia, neural development, embryogenesis and inflammation. LIF has the capacity to induce differentiation in leukemic cells, embryonic stem cells, hematopoietic and neuronal cells. LIF is also a proinflammatory cytokine and induces the acute phase protein synthesis and affects the cell recruitment into the area of damage or inflammation. LIF has been implicate as an important factor for the development of the early embryo. LIF may also play a role in immune tolerance at the maternal-fetal interface. LIF supports the maintenance of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell pluripotency and germline competency. LIF binds to the LIF receptor (LIFRα), which forms a heterodimer with a common β-subunit, GP130. This leads to activation and transduction of the JAK/STAT and MAPK signaling cascades. LIF is known as a direct transcriptional target of STAT5: STAT5 binds to LIF promoter and LIF expression is up-regulated after activation of the JAK2/STAT5 pathway. The LIF expression is significantly increased in patients with chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms. Owning to its pleiotropic functions, LIF has been involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases of various origins. Mouse LIF shows 80% sequence identity to human LIF.
