Human Leukemia Inhibitory Factor - Animal-Free | 300-837P

Human Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) is member of the IL-6 family and is made by a variety of tissues. Human LIF signals through gp130 to activiate STAT3 in human ESCs . In mouse ESCs, LIF promotes self-renewal and pluripotentcy, but in human cells there is no indication that LIF has the same function. Instead, FGF-basic (FGF-2) and Activin A are used to promote self-renewal and pluripotent potential. Recombinant human LIF is a non-glycosylated protein, containing 181 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 19.9 kDa. This product is produced using Animal Free raw components and processes, in a non-mammalian system.
