Protein attributes
| Sequence length | 202 AA. |
| Sequence status | Complete. |
| Sequence processing | The displayed sequence is further processed into a mature form. |
| Protein existence | Evidence at protein level |
General annotation (Comments)
| 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. |
| Subcellular location | |
| Pharmaceutical use | 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). |
| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the LIF/OSM family. |
Ontologies
Alternative products
| This entry describes 2 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select] | ||||||
| Isoform 1 (identifier: P15018-1) This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry. | ||||||
| Isoform 2 (identifier: P15018-2) The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows: 7-88: GVVPLLLVLH...DKLCGPNVTD → VHSPGGAVPQ...RHRRHPARPP 89-202: Missing. | ||||||
| Note: No experimental confirmation available. |
