IL-3 Products

Description

IL-3 (Interleukin-3, Hematopoietic growth factor, Mast cell growth factor), a pleiotropic growth factor, is mainly produced by activated T-cells, but is also produced by keratinocytes, NK-cells, mast cells, endothelial cells and monocytes. IL-3 promotes proliferation and differentiation of various hematopietic cell types, including pluripotent stem cells and more committed progenitors. IL-3 also affects activity of mature hematopoietic cells and often functions in combination with other cytokines. Human IL-3 is species-specific and shows no biological activity on murine cells. Recombinant human IL-3 is a 17 kDa globular protein consisting of 133 amino acid residues.
