Interaction of cytokine LIF with the lipidic matrix of membranes

Abstract

Integration of LIF protein into the bilayer lipid membrane causes the formation of ion channels. The data on activity of ion channels formed by recombinant protein from mouse and human origin are shown. Also the difference in the effect of LIF protein from eukaryotic and prokaryotic origin is shown.
