LP16471-2 Interleukin 3
The Interleukins belong to the family termed cytokines. They are peptides used by immune and inflammatory cells to communicate and control cell operations. The cytokines have some similar actions to the Growth Factors but Growth Factors regulate proliferation of non-immune cells. Interleukin 3 is a 20,000 - 26,000 molecular weight glycoprotein originally called Multi-Colony Stimulating Factor. It is released primarily by activated T Cells. Its primary target cells are early hemopoietic cells. Interleukin 3 also stimulates proliferation of macrophages, neutrophils, eosinophils, megakaryocytes, and mast cells. Interleukin 3 activates pluripotent stem cells giving rise to a wide range of cell types. It also induces 20a-Steroid Dehydrogenase in T cells and Leukotriene C4. It works in conjunction with Interleukin 6 to hasten the emergence of blast cell colony-forming cells.
