Recombinant Human LIFR alpha (Mammalian-expressed), CF Summary

Details of Functionality
Measured by its ability to inhibit LIF-dependent proliferation of TF‑1 human erythroleukemic cells. Kitamura, T. et al. (1989) J. Cell Physiol. 140:323. The ED50 for this effect is typically 1-6 μg/mL in the presence of 0.3 ng/mL of recombinant human LIF.

Background

Leukemia Inhibitory Factor Receptor alpha (LIF R alpha ), also known as LIFR beta and CD118, is a 190 kDa type I transmembrane protein in the Interleukin-6 receptor family. Members of this family mediate the biological effects of Cardiotrophin-1, CLC, CNTF, IL-6, IL-11, IL-27, and Oncostatin M (1). Mature human LIF R alpha consists of a 789 amino acid (aa) extracellular domain (ECD) with two cytokine receptor homology domains, one WSxWS motif, and three fibronectin type III repeats, followed by a 25 aa transmembrane segment and a 239 aa cytoplasmic domain (2). Within the ECD, human LIF R alpha shares 72% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat LIF R alpha . LIF R alpha binds the pleiotropic cytokine LIF with low affinity (3). Binding affinity is increased by the ligand-induced association of LIF R alpha with the signal transducing subunit gp130 (4, 6). The LIF R alpha /gp130 receptor complex also transduces Oncostatin M signals, although LIF R alpha alone does not interact with Oncostatin M (4). gp130 associates with different ligand-specific receptors to form signaling receptor complexes for the other IL-6 family ligands (1). The CNTF receptor is a ternary complex that contains CNTF R alpha and gp130 as well as LIF R alpha (6, 7). LIF R alpha is widely expressed, and LIF induces the proliferation, differentiation, and activation of cells in many tissues (8, 9). In particular, LIF R alpha plays an important role in several aspects of early pregnancy such as blastocyst implantation in the uterus (10-12).
