Anti-Human LIF (L156-GRP)

Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) (22 kDa (predicted) glycoprotein) is a pleiotropic cytokine that belongs to the IL-6 receptor family. It binds to a heterodimeric membrane receptor made up of a LIF-specific subunit, gp190, and the subunit gp130. 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.
