IL11

Gene
IL11
Protein
Interleukin-11
Organism
Homo sapiens
Length
199 amino acids
Function
Cytokine that stimulates the proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells and megakaryocyte progenitor cells and induces megakaryocyte maturation resulting in increased platelet production (PubMed:2145578). Also promotes the proliferation of hepatocytes in response to liver damage. Binding to its receptor formed by IL6ST and either IL11RA1 or IL11RA2 activates a signaling cascade that promotes cell proliferation (PubMed:12919066). Signaling leads to the activation of intracellular protein kinases and the phosphorylation of STAT3.
Similarity
Belongs to the IL-6 superfamily.

Function
Cytokine that stimulates the proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells and megakaryocyte progenitor cells and induces megakaryocyte maturation resulting in increased platelet production (PubMed:8913282). Also promotes the proliferation of hepatocytes in response to liver damage (PubMed:22253262). Binding to its receptor formed by IL6ST and either IL11RA1 or IL11RA2 activates a signaling cascade that promotes cell proliferation, also in the context of various cancers (PubMed:10026196, PubMed:23948300). Signaling leads to the activation of intracellular protein kinases and the phosphorylation of STAT3 (PubMed:23948300, PubMed:22253262).
