Effect of LIF Factor on Lipid Bilayer
It has been found that the recombinant protein LIF induces jumps of current in bilayer lipid membranes, which indicates the formation of ionic channels. Some properties of these channels (dependence on voltage, sing of potential, ionic strength of solution, and lipid composition) were studied. A difference between the effects of protein LIF of eukaryotic and prokaryotic origin was shown.
