Product Specific Information

Description: BMS1027 specifically binds to human Leukemia Inhibitory Factor a cytokine which was primarily described as a product of activated T lymphocytes and macrophages. It is a variably glycosylated 180 amino acid protein of apparent molecular weight between 35 and 67 kDa depending on its source and glycosylation. The human LIF-gene is located on chromosome 22, the gene product is highly conserved between species. The multivarious nature of LIF is illustrated by its multiple ""discoveries"" under a variety of synonyms.

LIF exerts its pleiotropic functions in a wide variety of systems. Examples for its important and diverse physiological functions are support of growth and inhibition of differentiation of normal embryonic stem cells, stimulation of the production of acute-phase proteins by hepatocytes.

Applications Tested: ELISA, non-blocking.

Target Information

Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is a 20 kDa protein that belongs to the IL-6 receptor family. It binds to a heterodimeric membrane receptor made up of a LIF-specific subunit, gp190 or LIFR, and the subunit gp130, which is shared with the other members of the IL-6 family. LIF expression has been observed in various tissues including thymus, lung, and neuronal tissue. LIF can be up-regulated by pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNFα and IL-17, and elevated levels of LIF have been found in cases of rheumatoid arthritis, neural injury, systemic inflammation, and tuberculosis. LIF displays diverse biological effects, but is best known for its ability to inhibit the differentiation of embryonic stem cells in mice and contribute to stem cell self-renewal.Human and mouse LIF share 79% sequence homology and exhibit cross-species activity. However, LIF inhibition of stem cell differentiation appears to be mouse-specific.
