FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Flt3l is a small molecule that acts as a growth factor that increases the number of immune cells by activating the hemtopoietic progenitors. It also induces the mobilization of the hematopoietic progenitors and stem cells in vivo which may help the system to kill cancer cells.
