Background
leukemia inhibitory factor(LIF) Homo sapiens The protein encoded by this gene is a pleiotropic cytokine with roles in several different systems. It is involved in the induction of hematopoietic differentiation in normal and myeloid leukemia cells, induction of neuronal cell differentiation, regulator of mesenchymal to epithelial conversion during kidney development, and may also have a role in immune tolerance at the maternal-fetal interface. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012],
Function
function:LIF has the capacity to induce terminal differentiation in leukemic cells. Its activities include the induction of hematopoietic differentiation in normal and myeloid leukemia cells, the induction of neuronal cell differentiation, and the stimulation of acute-phase protein synthesis in hepatocytes.,online information:Leukemia inhibitory factor entry,pharmaceutical:In phase II clinical trial. The drug is being developed by Amrad to assist embryo implantation in women who have failed to become pregnant despite assisted reproductive technologies (ART).,similarity:Belongs to the LIF/OSM family.,
