Flt3 ligand

Flt3 ligand is a protein in the body that plays a key role in the development and growth of certain blood cells, especially those involved in the immune system. It binds to specific receptors (Flt3 receptors) on precursor blood cells in the bone marrow, promoting their survival, multiplication, and maturation. This process is crucial for maintaining healthy blood cell levels and an effective immune response. Flt3 ligand is also being studied for its potential in treating blood cancers and boosting immune recovery after treatments like chemotherapy.
