Background: LIFR alpha

Leukemia Inhibitory Factor Receptor alpha (LIF R alpha ), also known as LIFR beta and CD118, is a 190 kDa type I transmembrane protein in the Interleukin-6 receptor family. Members of this family mediate the biological effects of Cardiotrophin-1, CLC, CNTF, IL-6, IL-11, IL-27, and Oncostatin M (1). Based on its similarity with human LIF R alpha,  mature cynomolgus LIF R alpha is predicted to consist of a 789 amino acid (aa) extracellular domain (ECD) with two cytokine receptor homology domains, one WSxWS motif, and three fibronectin type III repeats, followed by a 26 aa transmembrane segment and a 238 aa cytoplasmic domain (2). Within the ECD, cynomolgus LIF R alpha shares 97% aa sequence identity with human LIF R alpha. LIF R alpha binds the pleiotropic cytokine LIF with low affinity (3). Binding affinity is increased by the ligand-induced association of LIF R alpha with the signal transducing subunit gp130 (4, 6). The LIF R alpha /gp130 receptor complex also transduces Oncostatin M signals, although LIF R alpha alone does not interact with Oncostatin M (4). gp130 associates with different ligand-specific receptors to form signaling receptor complexes for the other IL-6 family ligands (1). The CNTF receptor is a ternary complex that contains CNTF R alpha and gp130 as well as LIF R alpha (6, 7). LIF R alpha is widely expressed, and LIF induces the proliferation, differentiation, and activation of cells in many tissues (8, 9). In particular, LIF R alpha plays an important role in several aspects of early pregnancy such as blastocyst implantation in the uterus (10-12).
