(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3976
Official gene symbolLIF
Full nameleukemia inhibitory factor (cholinergic differentiation factor)
Aliases,CDF,DIA,HILDA,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a pleiotropic cytokine with roles in several different systems. It is involved in the induction of hematopoietic differentiation in normal and myeloid leukemia cells, induction of neuronal cell differentiation, regulator of mesenchymal to epithelial conversion during kidney development, and may also have a role in immune tolerance at the maternal-fetal interface.
