Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) is a 208kD pleiotrophic factor belonging to the IL-6 superfamily of cytokines (1). LIF is expressed in a number of tissues and cell types. The LIF receptor is a heterodimer comprised of LIF-R (gp190) and gp130, a common signal transducer for IL-6-type cytokines (1). Depending on cell type and context, LIF/LIF-R can activate Erk, PI3K, and Jak1/Stat1/3 pathways (1,2). LIF has a diverse array of biological activities. Murine embryonic stem cells are dependent on LIF for pluripotency and self-renewal in vitro (1). Exercise- induced LIF secretion in muscle induces myoblast proliferation, suggesting that LIF may play a role in exercise-induced muscle hypertrophy (2). LIF also negatively regulates Th2 and Th17 cell differentiation (3,4).||Source:|Recombinant protein corresponding to Ser23-Phe202 from human LIF, expressed in E. coli.||Molecular Weight: |~20kD||Biological Activity:|Determined in a TF-1 cell proliferation assay.
