Human Interleukin-3, IL3 Primacu™ ELI

IL3 (interleukin 3), also known as IL-3, is a potent growth-promoting cytokine that belongs to the IL-3 family.

IL3/IL-3 also belongs to the group of interleukins.

Interleukins are produced by a wide variety of body cells.

The function of the immune system depends in a large part on interleukins, and rare deficiencies of a number of them have been described, all featuring autoimmune diseases or immune deficiency.

The majority of interleukins are synthesized by helper CD4+ T lymphocytes, as well as through monocytes, macrophages, and endothelial cells.

They promote the development and differentiation of T, B, and hematopoietic cells.

IL3/IL-3 is capable of supporting the proliferation of a broad range of hematopoietic cell types.

It is involved in a variety of cell activities such as cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis.

IL3/IL-3 has been shown to also possess neurotrophic activity, and it may be associated with neurologic disorders.
