| Introduction | LIF (Leukemia inhibitory factor; also Differentiation-stimulating factor) is a 22 kDa (predicted) glycoprotein, member of the leukemia inhibitory factor/interleukin-6 (LIF/IL-6) family of cytokines. Natural LIF is heavily glycosylated, showing an apparent molecular weight of 32 kDa to 62 kDa, it is produced by a variety of cells including T cells, monocytes, fibroblasts, osteoblasts and mast cells. LIF induces hematopoietic differentiation in normal and myeloid leukemia cells, neuronal cell differentiation and stimulation of acute-phase protein synthesis in hepatocytes. Human LIF acts through a receptor comprising a 190 kDa LIF-binding alpha -chain and a 130 kDa signal-transducing beta -chain (gp130), which is shared with the other members of the IL-6 family. Human and mouse LIF exhibit 78% aa sequence identity. |
