IL3 (interleukin-3)

Identity

HGNC	IL3
Location	5q31

DNA/RNA

Description	5 exons
Transcription	674 bp transcript with a 458 bp of coding sequence

Protein

Description	152 amino acids; 17 kDa
Expression	IL3 is produced by activated T cells, monocytes/macrophages and stroma cells
Function	cytokine; multipotent hematopoietic growth factor; induces proliferation, maturation and probably self-renewal of pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells and cells of myeloid, erythroid and megakaryocytic lineages; IL-3 plays a more specialized role on basophil and mast cells; role through activation of the IL-3 receptor (IL-3R) complex consisting of alpha and beta subunits, which in turn induces activation of JAK2/ STAT5 , and induction of c-myc (cell-cycle progression and DNA synthesis), and activation of the Ras pathway (suppression of apoptosis); IL3 and GM-CSF have overlapping but distinct biological properties

Implicated in

Entity	t(5;14)(q31;q32)
Disease	B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with hypereosinophilia
Prognosis	poor
Cytogenetics	t(5;14) may be the sole anomaly or accompanied with other anomalies
Hybrid/Mutated Gene	break in the promoter region of IL3 and in the Jh region of IgH
Abnormal Protein	the immunoglobulin gene promoter controls the expression of IL3
Oncogenesis	over-expression of IL3
