INTRODUCTION
Leukemia Inhibitory Factor also called LIF is a lymphoid factor that promotes long-term maintenance of embryonic stem cells by suppressing spontaneous differentiation. Leukemia Inhibitory Factor has several functions such as cholinergic neuron differentiation, control of stem cell pluripotency, bone & fat metabolism, mitogenesis of factor dependent cell lines & promotion of megakaryocyte production in vivo. Human and mouse LIF exhibit a 78% identity in its amino acid sequence.
DESCRIPTION
LIF Human Recombinant produced in yeast is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 180 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 58.5 kDa. The LIF is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
