Human IL3 mRNA encodes the human interleukin 3 (IL3) protein, a potent growth promoting cytokine. IL3 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. This cytokine has been shown to also possess neurotrophic activity, and it may be associated with neurologic disorders.
