Protein Coding Gene : Lif leukemia inhibitory factor

Primary Identifier  MGI:96787 Organism  mouse, laboratory
Chromosome  11 NCBI Gene Number  16878
Mgi Type  protein coding gene
description  FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0)

Enables cytokine activity and growth factor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell differentiation involved in embryonic placenta development; lung development; and positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early conceptus; hemolymphoid system; nervous system; and reproductive system. Orthologous to human LIF (LIF interleukin 6 family cytokine).
PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations have reduced numbers of stem cells in spleen and bone marrow, enhanced inflammatory responses, impaired sensory neuron regrowth, and uterine insufficiency. Heterozygotes show intermediate numbers of stem cells. [provided by MGI curators]
